Background ---------- o - 2.6.8.1 kernel, self-compiled with PPP filtering support.
o - /usr/lib/libpcap.a, version 0.9.2 from the Slackware tcpdump-0.9.3 package as shown in the "strings /usr/lib/libpcap.a" output. Also shown in the output was DLT_PPP_PPPD. (FYI, the version in the libpcap-0.9.3 source package at http://www.tcpdump.org wasn't updated.) o- 2.4.3 pppd, self-compiled without any warning or error messages (after replacing include/linux/crc-ccitt.h in the 2.6.8.1 source with the same-named file from a 2.6.10 source :/). The cc line in the compiler output creating pppd contains -lpcap and the output of "strings pppd/pppd" shows DLT_PPP_PPPD. That output does not show DLT_PPP_WITH_DIRECTION but it seems to me that shouldn't make any difference. Problem description ------------------- This pppd fails with return status 2 when the option " active-filter '(outbound and not (icmp[0] = 0))' " is used. It's also failed with the same return status using several other active-filter options that I've tried and don't include outbound (or inbound). It succeeds with no active-filter option. The active-filter option shown above works using pppd 2.4.2, which was compiled with libpcap-0.7.2. Has anyone successfully used pppd 2.4.3 with an active-filter option? --- Clifford Kite - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
