Hi,
There's a nice commentblock in util.c that explains this:
/* Try to figure out if we're remotely connected, e.g. via ssh or
Terminal Server, and create a capture filter that matches aspects of the
connection. We match the following environment variables:
SSH_CONNECTION (ssh): <remote IP> <remote port> <local IP> <local port>
SSH_CLIENT (ssh): <remote IP> <remote port> <local port>
REMOTEHOST (tcsh, others?): <remote name>
DISPLAY (x11): [remote name]:<display num>
CLIENTNAME (terminal server): <remote name>
*/
I've added a related section to the user's guide in SVN 19063.
What's still unclear to me:
- When will the filter be applied? (when the options dialog opens?)
- Will it be added each time to the filter field when the dialog is opened?
- How is it combined with an already existing filter?
Hoping to get some answers from the experts (without having to look
deeply into the code) ...
