Problem with snoop

Pinging 10.0.0.6 from 10.0.0.10, I get the following while snooping [in another shell]:
Code:
IRIS 1 # snoop -r -V arp,icmp
Using device ef0 (promiscuous mode)
________________________________
10.0.0.10 -> (broadcast)  ETHER Type=0806 (ARP), size = 42 bytes
10.0.0.10 -> (broadcast)  ARP C Who is 10.0.0.6, 10.0.0.6 ?
________________________________
10.0.0.6 -> 10.0.0.10    ETHER Type=0806 (ARP), size = 60 bytes
10.0.0.6 -> 10.0.0.10    ARP R 10.0.0.6, 10.0.0.6 is <ethernet address deleted>
________________________________
10.0.0.10 -> 10.0.0.6     ETHER Type=0800 (IP), size = 98 bytes
10.0.0.10 -> 10.0.0.6     IP  D=10.0.0.6 S=10.0.0.10 LEN=84, ID=49286
10.0.0.10 -> 10.0.0.6     ICMP Echo request (ID: 37789 Sequence number: 0)
________________________________
10.0.0.6 -> 10.0.0.10    ETHER Type=0800 (IP), size = 98 bytes
10.0.0.6 -> 10.0.0.10    IP  D=10.0.0.10 S=10.0.0.6 LEN=84, ID=6484
10.0.0.6 -> 10.0.0.10    ICMP Echo reply (ID: 37789 Sequence number: 0)

<tcpdump> would normally report something like
Code:
arp who-has 10.0.0.6 tell 10.0.0.10
arp reply 10.0.0.6 is-at <ethernet address>

I don't understand why, with <snoop>, in each of the above ARP's both IP addresses are the same.

Any explanation?

? Did you read wrong? It says .6 -> .10....

Edit: Oohh. You are talking about the Who is 10.0.0.6, 10.0.0.6 line? If I am not mistaken, that should be the FQDN or hostname for one of them.

I had a problem with a snoop once. Pulled out the .45, squoze off a round, got him right between the eyes. That was the end of that.

Depends on hamei's historical preference for .45s.

If he's reliving the last century he probably meant this one.

If he's reliving the century before that, our chinese expatriate cowboy probably had this in mind .

One of the things I like about Nekochaners is their occasional humor. Unfortunately, hamei's in his post didn't shed any light on my original question at all. Anyone more serious out here to resolve it [I really don't care for more blah-blah]?

"To tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being as this is a Thompson, the most powerful sub-machine gun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you have to ask yourself a question: Do you still have a problem with snoop? Well, do ya, punk?"
