ArpON ver. 2.7 and a bug with the DARPI setting?
Hello. Because ArpON version on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is pretty outdated (2.0-2.1), I've decided to install ArpON 2.7.2-1 from a Vivid release. As we know ArpON is a portable handler daemon that make Arp secure in order to avoid Arp Spoofing/Poisoning and so on.
I'm writing because I've noticed some problems during configuration. Because I am using DHCP method to obtain an IP address I've to use a DARPI method (Dynamic Arp Inspect.) instead of SARPI (Static Arp Inspect) etc. After installation via 'apt-get' utility, editing/configuring "arpon" file from '/etc/default/' directory and uncommnet line responsible for a DARPI method, ArpON failed to start with a following error:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/arpon start
* Starting anti ARP poisoning daemon arpon
20:38:55 PID = </var/run/
/usr/bin/arpon: invalid option -- 'd' [fail]
For DARPI a line in the '/etc/default/
$ sudo /etc/init.d/arpon start
* Starting anti ARP poisoning daemon arpon
20:43:32 PID = </var/run/
One more checking, to be one hundred percent sure -- using '/etc/init.d/arpon status' command: "Checking status of anti ARP poisoning daemon arpon [OK]". So, it seems that there is a problem with a '-d' flag (should be '-D').
Does someone who uses ArpON 2.7 with a DARPI method, could check this issue? Thanks.
Best regards.
