#36342: Description for arping is incorrect ---------------------+------------------- Reporter: tim@… | Owner: snc@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: arping | ---------------------+------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => snc@… * port: => arping Old description:
At this URL: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/arping/Portfile the description reads:
"utility to find out if a MAC address is already taken on a LAN"
The long description reads:
"Arping is a util to find out if a specific IP address on the LAN is 'taken' and what MAC address owns it."
The long description is correct. The description is incorrect because you're not looking to see if a MAC address is taken just the IP address. Aside from soft-setting the MAC address you shouldn't run into duplicate MAC addresses on an Ethernet network.
