This is ARPMONITOR, a simple tool to trace arp requests from/to your machine. If you would like to monitor your network bus, or entire network ( if you dont use a switch or something like that ), just do a ifconfig <interface> PROMISC, to set the promiscuous mode of your network interface, and arpmonitor will automagically get all the traffic. I did arpmonitor to help me in a research, in 1998, about arp packets, delays between switches ports and so on. NOTE: some var name and code was stolen from neped. since I didn`t suceed to contact the author, they are here...

08/1998 - Initial release
05/2001 - I found the tarball, cleaned some points and posted to fm
09/2001 - Added promisc mode setting ( to use instead ifconfig promisc ), fixed some syslog errors, signal handling and command line options (see USAGE)
I am not maintaning it actively anymore, but, if you have a patch, or idea, drop me a line, I`ll try to implement/incorporate and maintain it useful.
I am lazy !
