Package: arpwatch
Version: 2.1a15-1.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The arpwatch daemon doesn't start after the extraction of the debian
archive. Actually, it starts to listen in interface and stops
immediately as we can read in /var/log/daemon.log:
Apr 5 17:24:47 server-bl arpwatch: Running as uid=121 gid=127
Apr 5 17:24:47 server-bl arpwatch: listening on eth0
Apr 5 17:24:47 server-bl arpwatch: exiting
The problem occurs on squeeze and wheezy branches. I can manually start
the daemon with invoke-rc.d command so the problem seems to be
exclusively related to the installation of the package.
I also tried this (see « -d & » at the end of ARGS value) and it allows
the daemon to start:
# cat /etc/default/arpwatch
# Global options for arpwatch(8).
# Debian: don't report bogons, don't use PROMISC.
ARGS="-N -p -d &"
# Debian: run as `arpwatch' user. Empty this to run as root.
RUNAS="arpwatch"
# aptitude remove arpwatch
# aptitude install arpwatch
My hope was to get some additional logs (what I didn't get) but I
observed it « solved » the issue.
Good luck ^^
Regards,
Philippe.
