Hi,
I'm having trouble with honeyd and the "set xxx ethernet" command.

# honeyd.conf
create testrouter
set testrouter ethernet "cisco"
bind 192.168.1.4 testrouter

$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.28 netmask 255.255.255.0

$ honeyd -d -f h.conf -i eth0
Honeyd V0.8b Copyright (c) 2002-2004 Niels Provos
honeyd: epoll_create: Function not implemented
honeyd[27788]: started with -d -f h.conf -i eth0
honeyd[27788]: listening promiscuously on eth0: (arp or ip proto 47 or (ip )) and not ether src 00:50:56:fe:ec:e8 honeyd.conf:3: Template "testrouter" is configured with ethernet address but there is no interface that can reach 192.168.1.4
honeyd: parsing configuration file failed

But 192.168.1.4 _is_ reachable with my network route.

However with 192.168.1.33 (or any IP beyond that) as the honeypot's address Honeyd works just fine.

Is this a problem with the code (network_compare() or else...) or am I missing something there?
