>Description:
The arpwatch package does not honor the -a flag, as per manpage.
According to manpage, this should disable the check for local network,
however, if you try to use it, arpwatch produces an error message.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Try to enable arpwatch with '/usr/pkg/sbin/arpwatch -a'
2) It fails with the following message:
testi-2:(root)/var/db/arpwatch# arpwatch -a
Version 2.1a11
usage: arpwatch [-dN] [-f datafile] [-i interface] [-n net[/width]] [-r file]
testi-2:(root)/var/db/arpwatch#
>Fix:
Looking through the pkgsrc/net/arpwatch/patches/patch-ac , it looks
like someone added the description for -a flag to the manpage, but
forgot to add the related patch to patch the actual source code.
