Configuring packet filters and TCP Wrappers

The Packet Filter Manager Interface

You can use the Packet Filter Manager to define and apply a packet filter, or to change or unload the packet filter that is applied to a LAN network interface.

NOTE: You cannot use the Packet Filter Manager to apply a packet filter to a PPP interface. You must instead use the PPP Manager to specify which filters will be applied to a PPP interface when it is next brought up. You can use the Packet Filter Manager to define the filters that a PPP interface can be configured to use.

You can start the Packet Filter Manager in any of these ways:

Start the SCOadmin launcher by entering scoadmin on the command line, and then select Networking Packet Filter Manager.
Enter the command scoadmin Packet Filter Manager on the command line.

For more information about using the SCOadmin managers, see ``Administering your system with SCOadmin''.
