MMM-NetworkScanner-loading...indefinitely

[jthirasilpa]

Those devices are ethernet connected. Also, I was just checking the logs and there are a lot of ip addresses and:

0|mm       | [20:52:38.389] [LOG]    MMM-NetworkScanner is performing arp-scan
0|mm       | [20:52:38.419] [LOG]    MMM-NetworkScanner is performing ip address scan

but no MAC addresses - which you seem to have in your logs.

After a complete reinstall of MM, I finally managed to resolve this. After reinstalling the original NetworkScanner module and using macaddresses to add to the config.js, I kept getting the “sudo requires your password” message. I went through node_helper.js and the only command that appears to require sudo is arp-scan. So I amended sudoers to allow sudo arp-scan without password using:

sudo visudo

and then adding:

 # Allow arp-scan without sudo
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/arp-scan

This allows sudo arp-scan to run without a password, while maintaining password requirements for other sudo commands.

Many thanks to Sam et. al. for input on this issue.

@jthirasilpa cool. Thx for the update. Using the updated file w password support should have allowed without sudoers
