The original problem was that something like: | strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, *argv, IFNAMSIZ); might leave ifr.ifr_name unterminated if length of *argv exceeds IFNAMSIZ. In order to fix this, I thought about replacing all those cases with (equivalent) calls to snprintf() or even introducing strlcpy(). But as Ulrich Drepper correctly pointed out when rejecting the latter from being added to glibc, truncating a string without notifying the user is not to be considered good practice. So let's excercise what he suggested and reject empty, overlong or otherwise invalid interface names right from the start - this way calls to strncpy() like shown above become safe and the user has a chance to reconsider what he was trying to do. Note that this doesn't add calls to check_ifname() to all places where user supplied interface name is parsed. In many cases, the interface must exist already and is therefore looked up using ll_name_to_index(), so if_nametoindex() will perform the necessary checks already.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
