--------------------------------
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.
