Arpwatch is a tool that monitors ethernet activity and keeps a database of ethernet/ip address pairings. It also reports certain changes via email. Arpwatch uses libpcap, a system-independent interface for user-level packet capture. Before building tcpdump, you must first retrieve and build libpcap, also from LBL, in: ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap-*.tar.Z.

I have downloaded arpwatch-2.1a4, and installed it on my Linux machine. But i'm unable to execute it using the command ./arpwatch -f arp.dat ( the syntax ).Can anybody help me out what is the command i should use?
Further, i want arpwatch to link with sendmail/exim so that it sends me the alert mail,whenever an IP is changed how can i proceed ?
Please help..
Regards
Manu
