Actually, it would be a good idea to give arpwatch an uid of its own too, but nobody will do for these purposes. Also, if this would be implemented some other way than OPTIONS=, there are options '-n' and '-N' (specifying the network and avoiding bogons) which sometimes are used. Strongly seconded. Although I would love to see an uid for arpwatch alone I could live with "nobody" too :-> Far better than running as root :-| Hmm. The file reads: --- # Get config. . /etc/sysconfig/network . /etc/sysconfig/arpwatch --- This later check should be: if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/arpwatch ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/arpwatch fi Especially as /etc/sysconfig/arpwatch isn't in %files. Well /etc/sysconfig/arpwatch is in Fixed the initscript anyway... check out arpwatch-2.1a10-38! |
Per the discussion on Beta-Testers across the weekend, the need to specify options without exiting the invoking initscript was discussed. add a file: /etc/sysconfig/arpwatch with a variable: OPTIONS=" -u nobody " and the source that file in the initscript: daemon arpwatch $OPTIONS -------------------------- Also requires a print documentation extension...
