The Arpwatch 2.1.15-r4.ebuild mentions to run "emerge --config arpwatch", after installation which does not work as the ebuild has no config function. If you open /etc/conf.d/arpwatch you see the same wrong information. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge arpwatch 2. Watch elog information 3. emerge --config arpwatch Actual Results: "This ebuild does not have a config function." Expected Results: The ebuild should have a config function or the elog information should recommend to edit /etc/conf.d/arpwatch manually, if arpwatch shall be run as a unprivileged user.
Additionaly there is a typo in /etc/conf.d/arpwatch where "/var/lib/arpwarch" should probably be "/var/lib/arpwatch". [/etc/conf.d/arpwatch] # Uncomment this line if you wish arpwatch to drop privileges. # Don't forget to adjust permissions on /var/lib/arpwarch #ARPUSER="arpwatch"
Thank you for report, Richard. Typo fixed. Everything else if fixed in net-analyzer/arpwatch-2.1.15-r5. I've made running as arpwatch users - default behaviour. Change is small, so I 'll as arch teams to stabilize it ASAP and punt out broken net-analyzer/arpwatch-2.1.15-r4.
