The port under FreeBSD does not support = the important switch -p, which we can find for example in Debian Linux. This switch is about "don=B4t put to promisccuous mode", which is really = needed for example wireless cards, where promisc kills usually the traffic on = wi-fi. =20 I am sorry I do not imagine how much work it is, I simple ask, is it possible to implement this switch (flag) ? =20 In the Debian Linux, there are anothers useful flags, but of course -p = is the most important one, here they are: =20 =20 (Debian) The -s flag is used to specify the path to the sendmail program. Any program that takes the option -odi and then text from = stdin can be substituted. This is useful for redirecting reports to log files instead of mail. =20 (Debian) The -p flag disables promiscuous operation. ARP = broadcasts get through hubs without having the interface in promiscuous mode, while sav- ing considerable resources that would be wasted on processing gigabytes of non-broadcast traffic. OTOH, setting promiscuous mode = does not mean getting 100% traffic that would concern arpwatch . YMMV. =20 (Debian) -a By default, arpwatch reports bogons (unless -N is = given) for IP addresses that are in the same subnet than the first IP address = of the default interface. If this option is specified, arpwatch will = report bogons about every IP addresses. =20 (Debian) The -m option is used to specify the e-mail address to = which reports will be sent. By default, reports are sent to root on the = local machine. =20 (Debian) The -u flag instructs arpwatch to drop root privileges = and change the UID to username and GID to the primary group of username . = This is recommended for security reasons, but username has to have write access to the default directory. =20 (Debian) The -R flag instructs arpwatch to restart in seconds = seconds after the interface went down. By default, in such cases arpwatch = would print an error message and exit. This option is ignored if = either the -r or -u flags are used. =20 (Debian) The -Q flags prevents arpwatch from sending reports by = mail. =20 (Debian) The -z flag is used to set a range of ip addresses to = ignore (such as a DHCP range). Netmask is specified as 255.255.128.0. =20 Please, I just ask, do not shoot me, thanks :) =20 Bye Daniel
