artillery honeypot spawning

[johnjohnsp1]

problem is about the honeypot that won't spawn over the selected ports:

example, within this configuration:

PORTS TO SPAWN HONEYPOT FOR

TCPPORTS="3389,88,389,445,135,137,1433,8080,21,5060,5061,5900,25,110,1723,1337,10000,5800,44443,16993"
UDPPORTS="123,5060,5061,3478"

none of those ports are active:

running it on a VM (VMware fusion 10.1.3) as the latest kali image 2018.3:

Linux KALI20183 4.17.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.17.17-1kali1 (2018-08-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

the only way to make it work properly is to uninstall and reinstalling it every time.
won't survive a reboot or anything else.

any ideas ? anyone else got the same issue ?

thanks in advance
