Description Arnaud 2012-05-23 03:00:14 UTC 
From 7.1-RELEASE-p13:
# arp -a
? (10.0.0.100) at 00:1b:eb:30:1e:ff on vte0 permanent [ethernet]
# arp -d 10.0.0.100
10.0.0.100 (10.0.0.100) deleted
# arp -a
# <empty>

From 9.0-RELEASE:

# arp -a
? (172.31.0.1) at 00:00:24:cb:f4:90 on vr0 permanent [ethernet]
# arp -d 172.31.0.1
172.31.0.1 (172.31.0.1) deleted
# echo $?
0
# arp -a
? (172.31.0.1) at 00:00:24:cb:f4:90 on vr0 permanent [ethernet]

If a utility say "deleted" and successfully complete, I expect it to be "deleted" or to return an error.

Fix: 

Restore the behavior of FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, as per POLA, thanks.
How-To-Repeat: see above.
