--------------------------------

             Summary: -f silently fails if base/frameworks/packet-filter isn't 
loaded
                 Key: BIT-1407
                 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1407
             Project: Bro Issue Tracker
          Issue Type: Problem
          Components: Bro
            Reporter: Vern Paxson


I know we've been through this before (though searching the tickets in Jira, I 
couldn't find the thread).  But to revisit: the "-f filter" option silently 
does nothing if base/frameworks/packet-filter isn't loaded (so the scenario 
here is using -b to suppress its automatic loading).  This can lead to 
seriously confusing behavior.  It would be preferable if there's either an 
error message indicating that the option won't be supported, or if it forced 
loading of packet-filter.
