The file contained in the arpwatch distribution is from 2006 and thus outdated and misses many vendors. It would be better if the arpwatch port could install a more current file. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The arpwatch distribution contains a script "massagevendor" which converts the official list from http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt into the correct format. I'm not sure how this should be handled best. Either the port could simply fetch and install the file during portinstall time, or an updated file could simply be "shipped" in files/ as part of the port. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
