We got off onto a big tangent about switches and vlans and stuff and I learned a number of interesting things, don't get me wrong, but we still haven't established any consensus on the trade-offs of enabling bpf. This wasn't meant to be a hypothetical discussion, I'm truly trying to measure the trade-off between enabling bpf and (by some fraction) opening things up to easier attack by sniffers in a root-compromise situation vs not having DHCP work properly at all after installation.
This is a clear security vs functionality issue and I need to get a good feel for which "cause" is ascendent here in knowing which way to jump on the matter. Can we now hear the closing arguments from the pro and con folks? Thanks, - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
