Myers" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: PPP_FILTER, pppd, and bpfilter Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am currently using a FreeBSD machine as a terminal server, with 40 modems attached to it, and using pppd. I'd like to utilize PPP_FILTER, but am not sure how many (if any) 'bpfilter' pseudo devices to install. Do I need 40 of them?? or does pppd and just the PPP_FILTER option in kernel config enough? Or should I just experiment? I just didnt want too much bloat in the kernel if I dont need it. (As a side note, I'm using ppp_filter in conjunction with a 20 minute idle timeout, ignoring mail checks (port 110), and icmp. Anything else I should ignore?) - - - JwM To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
