knockd throws pcap syntax error on Asuswrt-Merlin #64

Open pjm111 opened 4 years ago

pjm111 commented 4 years ago

After installing and configuring knockd 0.7.8.1 from Entware on a router running Asuswrt-Merlin, I see the following error when attempting to start knockd: pcap: can't parse filter expression: syntax error

The knockd start attempt was with the following command line: /opt/sbin/knockd -d -c '/opt/etc/knockd.conf' -i eth0

A web search reveals a possibly related issue being discussed here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536111-Knockd-unable-to-start-after-upgrade-from-15-0-to-15-1

Is this error a known problem and is there a fix on the way? Does Entware have access to the latest knockd build?
