Bug #16511: EC2 code breaks facter on Solaris 8 and earlier
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16511#change-77411

Author: Alex Harvey
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: solaris
Target version: 1.6.15
Keywords: solaris
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/347
Affected Facter version: 


The following code in lib/facter/util/ec2.rb breaks various facts on versions 
of Unix that do not support the arp -n option.

    # Test if the host has an arp entry in its cache that matches the EC2 arp,
    # which is normally +fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff+.
    def has_ec2_arp?
      mac_address = "fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
      if Facter.value(:kernel) == 'windows'
        arp_command = "arp -a"
        mac_address.gsub!(":","-")
      else
        arp_command = "arp -an"
      end

This results in failures like the following -

    $ facter swapsize
    arp: -an: unknown host
    2.00 GB
