Thanks for the education! It's rather depressing though - I was hoping to get arpwatch to be able to resolve NetBIOS names. When devices are plugged into the network I get an email with the IP and MAC of course, and then if I'm suspicious I can track down the physical port they are plugged into. If the name is in DNS it's part of the email, but if not there's no name listed. Sometimes a name would help me realize more quickly what the device might be!

Yeah, yeah, I know, I can just do a nmblookup myself when I get an email from arpwatch - but what fun is that?

Maybe I can script it somehow...
