I noticed an arp entry that had been used for a proxyarp PPP address that
was still there after the PPP client had gone away. Using arp -d, tells
me the address is not in the arp table. arp -a and cat tell me
otherwise. Whats up?
ewok:~# arp -an [cut for brevity]
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
205.229.48.120 ether 00:A0:24:03:85:18 CMP * eth0
ewok:~# grep 120 /proc/net/arp
205.229.48.120 0x1 0xe 00:A0:24:03:85:18 * eth0
ewok:~# arp -d 205.229.48.120
No ARP entry for 205.229.48.120
This is with linux 2.0.10 and arp from net-tools-1.32-alpha. Just for
kicks, I compiled the arp in NetKit-B-0.07, and it seems totally broken
for use with 2.0.10.
