 I'm only suggesting sbin because originally that's where everything else
 ended up needing to be put so as to be used by the program ... arp.dat
 ethercodes.dat ... If there's a better standard place to put it/them then
 fine. Ubuntu 8.04 also just piled all of them into the same directory.

 I created a directory /opt/local/var/arpwatch
 and created (by touch) arp.dat in /opt/local/var/arpwatch/

 arpwatch "sees" the ethercodes.dat file in the place the installation put
 it.

 arpwatch seems happy.

 So yes everything intended seems to have been done and works. Thank you.
