Arpwatch - update-ethercodes cronjob necessary?
-
I just starting playing around with the Arpwatch package.
During the install, the following message is displayed:
>>> Installing pfSense-pkg-arpwatch... [...blah blah...] Message from arpwatch-3.2: -- You can create an ethercodes.dat file by running this script: /usr/local/arpwatch/update-ethercodes Here's a example crontab entry to update it every night: 00 0 * * * root sleep `jot -r 1 0 600` ; /usr/local/arpwatch/update-ethercodes The -m flag is deprecated. If you are using the -m watcher flag, please switch to -w.
I checked my Cron after installing and I don't have that job listed. So my question is, do I need to manually add it? Or is this somehow handled a different way? (or is it just totally unnecessary...)
