How to make Arpwatch listen on all interfaces on Ubuntu Server

I have Arpwatch running on one NIC but not the other network interface.

How can I change this in Ubuntu Server ? Help appreciated.

Yes, or you can alter the init.d directly.

On Debian-based systems it's a case of just adding the NICs you need to add -i ETH0 -i ETH1 etc to ARGS:

Look in the file: /etc/default/arpwatch

# Debian: don't report bogons, don't use PROMISC.

ARGS="-N -p"

# Debian: run as `arpwatch' user. Empty this to run as root.

RUNAS="arpwatch"
