Re: Network Variables

Snort does allow comments in the BPF file, starting with # to end of line.
 If there is a syntax error, you should see something like:

ERROR: Can't set DAQ BPF filter to '
...
' (pcap_daq_set_filter: pcap_compile: syntax error)!
Fatal Error, Quitting..

What DAQ are you using?  Please send the BPF file that fails and the error
that you get.
