ArpMonitor will log any ARP request to and from your machine or network. It's built for monitoring switches or bridges.

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 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...

What's New in This Release:
Added promisc mode setting ( to use instead ifconfig promisc ), fixed some syslog errors, signal handling , log to syslog or stderr, command line options (see USAGE), network code cleanup.
