it seems you're right.

I did not even find a difference between arp -s and arp -S. Both
just overwrite the existing entry. Ages ago arp -s stopped with an
error message in this case, this is why -S was introduced if I
remember correctly.

So neither the new script nor ndp require further changes. :)

But I have a small problem left: If I put static_ndp into
/usr/local/etc/rc.d it is run far before static_arp and does not
work as expected. If I put it into /etc/rc.d, everything seems fine,
static_ndp is run right before static_arp.

Isn't "rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*" the correct way
to find out the order? There must be somthing I don't fully understand.

BTW: I use 8.1-RC2.

Bye,
