Description:   Opened: 2006-09-10 11:34 0000 
arpwatch-2.1.13-r3 fails to start when using the '-p' option.
arpwatch-2.1.11-r1 worked with no
problems. the man page says:

       The -p flag disables promiscuous operation.  ARP broadcasts get through
hubs  with-
       out  having  the interface in promiscuous mode, while saving
considerable resources
       that would be wasted on processing gigabytes of non-broadcast traffic. 
OTOH,  set-
       ting  promiscuous  mode  does not mean getting 100% traffic that would
concern arp-
       watch .  YMMV. (Debian specific)

please bring this option back. thanks.

Thank you for report, Rajiv!

That was really odd problem and because arpwatch-2.1.13 currently seems to be
broken. I'd like to test and stabilize arpwatch-2.1.15 ASAP. I added
arpwatch-2.1.15 in the tree and this problem should be solved there. Please,
test and report here (you do not need to reopen bug) or directly by mail.

-p option is now accepted by .15... however the -u option no longer works.

Thank you for report. I found that problem also :) I'll fix add
arpwatch-2.1.15-r2 ASAP.

Just added arpwatch-2.1a15-r1. Fixed bug which caused arpwatch to freeze in
some conditions and -p -u work. At least I've spent some time and checked that
all options work. Also check man page for some new features ;) And of course if
you have some time to report, please, do.

Thank you for heads up again, Rajiv.
