These libc functions are used to map hardware MAC addresses to hostnames
and vice versa. If it exists, /etc/ethers will typically contain a
number of lines like so:
34:00:8a:56:10:20 superman
In addition to that, there is support for using a YP (nee Yellow Pee)
lookup service:

Paraphrasing an excerpt of my commit on getent(1) to add unveil(2):
"After a discussion with millert@ regarding YP then deraadt@ chimed in referring
that when he wrote this code even though we can have YP mappings with several
of these dbs "it doesn't mean that things use it, or should, or will" s
Sure but the issue is that binaries over-reach beyond in a way that
"getpw" supports for name lookups cannot help here. So the ether
library routines need another non-obvious pledge. I refer to remove
such YP support since use of it would be completely fringe.
