arpon

Hi to all,
 requesting arpon
http://arpon.sourceforge.net/index.html

[hata_ph]

Building it now...

[flip city]

 Much appreciated.
 I would have tried to build it myself, but felt I needed to resharpen my rusty head.

Ok
Installed arpon from the repository and it is running in Darpi mode. So as far as i can tell it's working.
I modified Htop, since the default daemon runs in quiet mode, but now I can see it (arpon).

It would be helpful to make a tutorial on how to use arpon

Not really necessary IMO. If your IP address is dynamically assigned, as is the case with most routers, just installing arpon is enough. It configures correctly for this arrangement and works neatly in the background, thwarting some of the most notorious pryware available.
All the info necessary for other arrangements can be found with  # arpon -h .
All in all a simple and effective piece of software. A must if you are on a LAN !!

does it work on multiple NIC?

[retired1af]

It should work on multiple NIC systems.

Ran into an issue with the package (no notice in the VL package news and Updates forum yet). ArpON works, but the man page is fubar.

And then the resulting output is garbage.

Installed arpon from the repository

Which repository? 

[retired1af]

It's in testing right now.

[hata_ph]

I have rebuild arpon v2 to fix the man page...

PS: you u all have libdnet installed when installing arpon?

[sledgehammer]

I installed it but don't see where to run it.  Perhaps the video would be helpful?

please clarify....libdnet is not in the repository.

[sledgehammer]

flip city,

You may need to update.  I just found and installed arpon and libdnet from the vector repositories.  I still don't know why I did so or what to do with arpon.

libdnet is listed as make dependency for arpon...i just want to confirm arpon no need libdnet to run...
