Thanks for the report, but there is no bug in it since IFACES may contain several interfaces.

IFACE is only a local variable which you don't want to modify. See:

start() {
        for IFACE in ${IFACES}
        do
        (stuff...)
        done
}


at home i use IFACES="eth0 eth1 eth2" in /etc/conf.d/arpwatch

Closing as Invalid, feel free to reopen if you disagree
