>Description:
arpwatch.sh is not part of arpwatch 2.1.a11, but a part of its
FreeBSD port. arpwatch.sh is installed into /usr/local/etc/rc.d
and starts arpwatch at boot time.
It runs as many arpwatches as specified by variable
${arpwatch_interfaces} in rc.conf.
The problem is that all this arpwatch processes try to use
the same /usr/local/arpwatch/arp.dat. At shutdown time there
exists a race condition between them: each arpwatch process dumps
his data into arp.dat, and there remains table of the last
exited one.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set ${arpwatch_interfaces} to a list of interfaces, more than 1.
Run arpwatch, look at your mail, write down 'new stations'.
killall arpwatches, start arpwatch.sh again. Look at your mail.
Some 'new stations' will appear again.
>Fix:
Let each arpwatch use his own arp.${iface}.dat:
