No spiffy install script, sorry. I recommend copying the contents of this directory to /usr/local/arpdetect. Edit arpdetect.xml to suit your needs. Specifically, setup a network with the IP of a host that is commonly up and its hardware address; then define actions for that network. It's easy to run arpdetect, just execute 'arpdetect -c /path/to/arpdetect.xml' Or, edit the supplied init.d-arpdetect and move it to /etc/init.d/arpdetect == REQUIRED PERL MODULES == Getopt::Long XML::Simple Proc::Daemon Net::Netmask You can find these on http://search.cpan.org, or install them by using the CPAN module (supplied with many distributions). Execute it by issuing this at the command line: perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
