+## Description
+
+Install and configure arpwatch
+
+## Setup
+
+### Beginning with arpwatch
+
+`include ::arpwatch` is enough to get you up and running.
+
+## Usage
+
+All interaction with the arpwatch module is done through the main arpwatch class. You can simply set the options in `::ntp` to have full functionality of the module.
+
+## Reference
+
+### Classes
+
+#### Public Classes
+
+* arpwatch: Main class, installs and configures arpwatch
+
+#### Private Classes
+
+* arpwatch::params: Determines and sets the defaults used by the main arpwatch class
+
+### Parameters
+
+The following parameters are available in the `::arpwatch` class:
+
+####`config_file`
+
+Specifies a file for arpwatch's configuration. Valid options: string containing an absolute path. Default value: '/etc/sysconfig/arpwatch'
+
+####`config_template`
+
+Specifies a file to act as a ERB template for the config file. Valid options: string containing a path (absolute, or relative to the module path). Example value: 'arpwatch/conf.rhel.erb'
+
+#### `dest_email`
+
+Specifies the email address to send arpwatch alerts to. Valid options: string. Default value: '-' (suppresses all email output from arpwatch)
+
+#### `interface`
+
+Specifies the interface to monitor for arp changes. Valid options: string containing an interface name. Default: eth0
+
+#### `package_ensure`
+
+Tells Puppet whether the arpwatch package should be installed, and what version. Valid options: 'present', 'latest', or a specific version number. Default value: 'present'
+
+#### `package_name`
+
+Tells Puppet what arpwatch package to manage. Valid options: string. Default value: 'arpwatch'
+
+#### `service_enable`
+
+Tells Puppet whether to enable the arpwatch service at boot. Valid options: true or false. Default value: true
+
+#### `service_ensure`
+
+Tells Puppet whether the arpwatch service should be running. Valid options: 'running' or 'stopped'. Default value: 'running'
+
+#### `service_name`
+
+Tells Puppet what arpwatch service to manage. Valid options: string. Default value: 'arpwatch'
+
+#### `service_user`
+
+Specifies which user account arpwatch should run under. Valid options: string. Default value: 'arpwatch' ('pcap' under RHEL5)
+
+#### `source_email`
+
+Specifies the source email address for arpwatch emails. Valid options: string. Default value: 'arpwatch@${::fqdn}'
+
+## Limitations
+
+arpwatch currently only supports RedHat based distributions. Pull requests are welcome to add support for other platforms.
+
+## Development

+# The baseline for module testing used by Puppet Labs is that each manifest
+# should have a corresponding test manifest that declares that class or defined
+# type.
+#
+# Tests are then run by using puppet apply --noop (to check for compilation
+# errors and view a log of events) or by fully applying the test in a virtual
+# environment (to compare the resulting system state to the desired state).
+#
