Platform: Intel Pentium M,
debian sarge (testing/unstable),
arpwatch 2.1a11-6.3
After my last "apt-get dist-upgrade", arpwatch has gotten very noisy.
It keeps sending me emails about every matchine it sees on the LAN.
At first it was kind of interesting. Right now, I would rather switch
it off.
First I looked at the /etc/arpwatch.conf file, which has the following
lines near the end:
# Uncomment this lines to have these interfaces monitored
# sending mails to the local root user
#eth0 -N -p -m root
#eth1 -N -p -m root
Both the -N and -p flags looked promisng. -N is "don't report any
bogons", and -p is "disable promiscous operations".
So I uncommented the eth0 line above, and did
/etc/init.d/arpwatch restart
That just made it noisier, presumably becaus it was busy rebuilding an
eth0-specific database.
Can anyone assist me in makin arpwatch stop sending emails, short of
doing
apt-get remove arpwatch
?
Thanx!
