=== Version ===

{{ #smeversion: smeserver-arpwatch }}
{{ #smeversion: arpwatch }}

=== Description ===

[http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/ Arpwatch] is a tool to monitor the ARP activity of your local network. Its main goal is to detect [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_poisoning|arp poisoning attacks].
It'll first create a database of IP<->mac associations (the database is /var/lib/arpwatch/arp.dat). Then, it'll be able to detect changes, and send an email to the admin.

=== Requirements ===
*SME Server 7.X

=== Installation ===

*install the rpms

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-arpwatch

*Start the daemon

Log into your server using SSH, and start the daemon

expand-template /etc/sysconfig/arpwatch
/etc/init.d/arpwatch start

Or
signal-event post-upgrade && signal-event reboot

=== Known issues ===

You may have some emails the first days you run it, because it'll see new computers on the network. Just let it running a few days. Then, you should only receive alerts when a new machines connects or when something wrong appens (arp spoofing attack)

You may also have problems if you runs arpwatch with [[OpenVPN_Bridge|OpenVPN Bridge]] contrib. The reason is that your client will have a dynamic IP. This problem can be solved if you fixe an IP for each client using the configuration rules manager. The second problem is that OpenVPN client will generate a random mac adress for each connection. So once again, you may have a lot of false positives. You can also solve this issue if you fixe a mac address in the client configuration:
lladdr 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
Of course, choose a unique mac address for each client.

=== Uninstall ===
If you want to remove the contrib, just run:
/etc/init.d/arpwatch stop
yum remove arpwatch

The source for this contrib can be found in the smeserver [http://smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/smeserver/smeserver-arpwatch/ CVS] on sourceforge.
