Hi,

I have read that it is possible to ignore traffic by using bpf-filter.
I have tried to call the manual (man bpf) under RedHat 9 but there is no
entry.

You can find a manual with "man tcpdump".


Means that, that I have no bpf-support?
Which software/ lib is neccesary to get bpf-support?
Where do I get it and how to install (special configure-options?)

You need the libpcap to have bpf-support. So you can use bpf-filters with 
snort, etherreal, tcdump, ngrep,....

Cheers Thomas
