Error installing arpwatch on Mac OSX Fix

Another quickie,

Anyone running into the following error:

$ sudo make install
Password:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 555 -o bin -g bin arpwatch /usr/local/sbin
install: bin: Invalid argument
make: *** [install] Error 67

When trying to install arpwatch, edit the Makefile and replace all the occurrences of “-o bin” with “-o root” and all the occurrences of “-g bin” with “-g wheel

Hope this helps someone.
