You're right, none of the responders are psychic, which is why if you don't include some information, the responses may be inaccurate. Reading the man page (and some unix common sense) will easily answer that for you. 1) you have all the source code 2) the man page says what exact include file bpf has for it's ioctl interface and 3) you can use find and/or grep to search text files. It's really not hard, just try to actually think. While you may get upset about this kind of stuff, I have much better and more important things to worry about. Trust me, nothing on an internet mailing list is that important to me. Jason
