Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 3.0-19980925-BETA on a P133.
Its not doing much but monitoring the network for IP usage.
(a few scripts to force arp requests for each IP iin a subnet)

I run a script from cron to compare the machines arp table with
my arp database.

occasionaly I get the error message in the subject

/usr/sbin/arp: actual retrieval of routing table
 
and doesnt print the arp table.

the command is '/usr/sbin/arp -an' which runs every 60 seconds.
the arp table has around 300-400 entries all the time.

have i come across some limitation for the table?

I dont know if this is related to being -current, but thought I'd try
here since thats what I'm running.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bry
