Seth Hall updated BIT-1407:
---------------------------
    Attachment: signature.asc



We could alternately take the additional step of moving command line argument 
processing into Bro scripts.  I don’t know how exactly we’d solve this 
particular problem, but it should be reasonably solvable that way.

> 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.
