Not only "not recommended", but also "not functional". The ARPSample code will not work on Mac OS X, period.

using BSD, you must be super user, suggestions?

There is really no way to get around this. All ARP table manipulation APIs require you to be running as root.

In general I recommend that you factor your ARP code into a separate tool, as demonstrated by MoreAuthSample.
