           Summary: Add an option to find hosts via arping requests in Lisa
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

         Component: knetwork
        AssignedTo: thiago kde org
        ReportedBy: t.artem mailcity com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)

Compiler:          GCC 4.1.2 i686 vanilla
OS:                Linux

Currently lisa daemon uses ping and nblookup requests to find hosts on LAN. That will be nice if Lisa could also search for hosts using arping requests. I ask for this because some hosts on my network are fully firewalled (due to security policy) yet they are visible via arping. As a system administrator I need to know whether they are alive or not.
