Hi,

I've downloaded the latest argus (3.0.5.3) and I'm trying to run with:
ARGUS_INTERFACE=ind:all

And I'm getting the following error messages:
May 23 10:02:20 usher argus[25730]: 23 May 11 10:02:20.195237 started
May 23 10:02:20 usher argus[25730]: 23 May 11 10:02:20.214626 started

If I run with ARGUS_INTERFACE=any then argus starts up right away (and seems
to use eth0).

I've got the following live interfaces:
Eth0 (ethernet)
Eth1 (ethernet)
Lo (loopback)
Sit1 (ipv6-ipv4)

I'm running centos-5.6 x86_64. I'm happy to provide any other information.

Cheers,
Harry
