I've been using my own rc script for reading static arp entries > from file but can't find it right now. I put '/usr/sbin/arp -f /etc/arp.conf' into /etc/rc.local on almost all of my servers, which is very handy, indeed. And with your patch proposed in another e-mail to be able to remove entries defined in a file seems to be a complete solution. I'd also like to see support for it. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
