--- Begin Message ---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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages arpwatch depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpcap0.8 1.1.1-2+squeeze1 system interface for user-level pa arpwatch recommends no packages. arpwatch suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
