>Description:
Section 6.2 'Playing with PPP filters' of the pedantic ppp primer at:

http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/x879.html

refers to filter syntax as afilter, dfilter, ifilter etc.
whereas they actually need to be filter alive, filter dial etc.

----------------------Also---------------------------------------------

/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample

Shows example filter lines of the form:

    set filter alive 0 deny udp src eq 520         # routed
    set filter alive 1 deny udp dst eq 520         # routed
    set filter alive 2 deny udp src eq 513         # rwhod
    set filter alive 3 deny udp src eq 525         # timed

All of these lines fail with syntax errors like:

Warning: ParseUdpOrTcp: bad src/dst port syntax:

Apparently because of the remarks!


>How-To-Repeat:
Use 'set filter' lines in ppp.conf with trailing remarks.
>Fix:
Remove the remarks, or suggest in
/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample that trailing remarks
should not be left on filter lines in a working ppp.conf.
