Forcing ARP table flush

I just ran across this method for remotely forcing a gateway to flush an arp entry when you move IP addresses around. 1) Download/install “arping” from the following URL. System will need libnet-devel and libpcap: http://www.habets.pp.se/synscan/programs.php?prog=arping 2) Run this command: arping -c 1 -S a.a.a.a b.b.b.b Where “a.a.a.a” is the IP you’ve moved, and “b.b.b.b” [...]

A quick fix to hide this setting in the UI code is to add HTML comments
(“<! –” … “–>”) around the “All Authenticated Users” options in the
HTML form. Basically, it is to add “<! –” at line 63 and “–>” at
