>Description:
The arpwatch-port should install the startup-script in $LOCALBASE/etc/rc.d as a
*deactivated* sample script and not a live one.
I got severely bitten by this as I installed arpwatch because I needed it's
vendor database and it spewed root@ days later when I finally rebooted the machine.
As more and more ports switch to install deactived startup-scripts, I strongly
suggest this port follows their example.
I'm going to stand in a corner for a while now.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Install startup-script as 'arpwatch.sh.dist'.
