It has been suggested that these are an attempt to detect whether the IP address is already in use and to avoid bringing up the interface if so. I can't find this documented anywhere, but if it is intended, then I'll file a bug against arpwatch for bugging me when this happens. I'll check maybe with our kernel folks as well if this is intentional. If so, reasigning this bug to arpwatch is probably a good idea. Read ya, Phil OK, I found that this comes from the following lines in /sbin/ifup: if ! arping -q -c 2 -w 3 -D -I ${DEVICE} ${IPADDR} ; then echo $"Error, some other host already uses address ${IPADDR}." exit 1 fi Also, upgrading arpwatch to 2.1a11-10.7x stopped the annoying notices. (I was at 2.1a4-29 from 7.0.) So if bugzilla will let me, I'll resolve this myself. I apologize for wasting your time. |
