All this talk of sniffers and snoopers has made me start playing with tcpdump. I have just built a kernel with 'pseudo-device bpfilter 4', and pseudo-device snp 3'. Tcpdump seems to be working fine. LINT however, carries the rather scary warning :- # The `bpfilter' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. Be # aware of the legal and administrative consequences of enabling this # option. May I ask, what are the legal and administrative consequences of enabling bpfilter ? Anthony Hill ahill@connect.com.au
