Thank you everyone, for your responses. I got a lot of good information, bu=
t I =0Anever did effectively find out how to tell if PACKETFILER option is =
part of my =0Arunning kernel, other than to run tcpdump and it worked! :)=
=A0Oddly, the =0A/dev/pfilt files were never created, but it seems to work.=
 Some good advice I =0Agot from this was that there is a man page on settin=

I see several kernel config files.=A0=A0The one that is my HOSTNAME, =0A=0A=
does have "options PACKETFILTER", but how can I extrapulate this from =0A/u=
