Most sniffer detectors based on bug(?) in IP stack implementation, which makes host, which device(s) is running in promisc. mode recognize IP packet, even if the mac address in ethernet frame doesn't match. (otherwise such ethernet frame would get dropped earlier).
After few test: It seems that NetBSD 1.4.1 is affected by this "bug". Linux slackware 4 isn't.
