[Daemonlogger-users] Forbid (disable the usage of) promiscuous mode per commandline switch

[<we...@ma...>]

Hello!

 

I started using daemonlogger [DL] on some machine,

mirroring all accepted traffic (per filter) to

disk for later security analyzis (keep two days).

 

What really ugly is, is that the DL always switches

the NIC into promiscuous mode.

 

This is bad for many reasons: Not only, that you

might be "recognized" as a spy in the ISPs network.

 

>From my point of view, a simple commandlineswitch

would changes this, like "-p" for tcpdump (and

available for other tools too, like pmacct).

 

Thanks so far,

Manfred
