pppd filtering under linux: final solution (timer now does NOT zero)

[Dimitris Stasinopoulos]

Paides xaireto.

Mias kai episkeftika ton pelati pou ekana tin douleia stin Athina,
tha rikso kai tis sxetikes simboules gia to pos tha stisete ton
pppd oste na rixnei to link, akoma kai otan merika poli kala
paidia (==ISPs[]) stelnoun diafora paketakia pou midenizoun ton
timer tou pppd. Exoume loipon sta anagkaia (toulaxiston gia emena
afta doulepsan):

Linux kernel 2.4.12
pppd 2.4.1
libpcapn 0.4a (prosoxi, libpcapn kai OXI libpcap)

Ston pirina:
->Sto Networking options, [*] Socket Filtering
->Sto Network device support, <*> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
Sto idio submenu, [*]   PPP filtering

Tora reboot me ton nea pirina.

Pername tin libpcapn kata ta gnosta (rpm i tarball)

Ston pppd, ton opoio prepei na katebasete se src morfi (nai, tarballs
rock off your balls) gia na ginei compiled me tin analogi option enabled:
./configure
Sto arxeio $source/pppd/Makefile.linux kanoume comment-out tin grammi
pou leei:
#FILTER=Y

Meta, kata ta gnosta, make, make install, kai hurraaaay:

Shadow:~ # pppd --version
pppd version 2.4.1
Shadow:~ # pppd active-filter
pppd: too few parameters for option active-filter

Epeidi bebaia eima idiaitera atixos, DEN exo prosbasi apo provider pou na 
ta ksinei, opote den mporo na sas odigies gia to pos akribos kobontai ta 
paketa tou provider sas, kathoti den eixa kai xrono na kathiso na 
antigrapso ta exact filters. Ta pragmatika endiaferonta ta afino se esas 
:-)

Cheers! (get me more beers)
