Config tree needs to be recompiled: File
/usr/local/nav/cricket/cricket-config/switches/Defaults is newer than the
compiled version
This warning appears if the cricket-configuration has been changed
without cricket-compile having been run.  Normally, cricket-compile is
run if necessary at the start of each collection run - which is at least
every 5 minutes.
You might be seeing this error because of file permission problems.
Makecricketconfig.pl prior to NAV 3.2 used to unnecessarily set
restrictive umasks before creating new Cricket configuration files.
Please make sure that every file and directory below
/usr/local/nav/cricket/cricket-config/ is writable by the navcron user,
and readable by everyone (or the user who runs the Apache process - the
point being that Cricket's web interface must be able to read the config).
I also recommend upgrading to NAV 3.2, of course :)

[output from makecricketconfig snipped]

No, everything looks normal (except for the fact that makecricketconfig
in NAV 3.1.1 has known bugs).

Yes, truth is in the headers.

On a small scale such as having only 1 MAC address that you need to  
catch, you could configure your DHCP servers to assign this MAC a  
specific IP.

With the suspect confined to a known set of IP addresses you could  
also setup a sniffer on the external routes to capture all traffic  
from those IPs to see for yourself if there is abuse.

I am surprised that switches can't generate an SNMP trap whenever a  
new MAC address is added to it's routing tables.
