What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Running samplicator in spoofing mode while trying to use the config file instead of the CLI. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The expected behavior is to have a config file option to allow spoofing which presently doesn't seem to exist. The current behavior is insufficient because this mode can only be enabled via the CLI which causes a discrepancy between CLI versus config file modes of use. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 beta

OS: Redhat Linux Please provide any additional information below. We have provided a tentative patch to address this issue.

Right now, the "configuration file" can only be used to configure source-prefix-to-destination(s) mappings.

I can see how it would be nice if options (globally and/or per-target) could also be specified in the configuration file. But that requires some design effort.

Can you make a proposal on how, in general, options (such as spoofing) could be specified in the configuration file?

Some examples would be sufficient for a start.

Let's use a -S on each line as you proposed to specify whether a source prefix should be in spoofing mode.

Where on each line?

I'm not too particular. The beginning would be fine. So long as it works.
