I got severely bitten by this as I installed arpwatch because I needed it's vendor database and it spewed root@ days later when I finally rebooted the machine. As more and more ports switch to install deactived startup-scripts, I strongly suggest this port follows their example. I'm going to stand in a corner for a while now. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Install startup-script as 'arpwatch.sh.dist'. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
