Once upon a time Gail A. Harless shaped the electrons to say...

This is what you said you did:

> add filter all
> set filter all 1 deny tcp dst eq 23
> set filter all 2 deny tcp src eq 23
> set filter all 3 permit

And no output would have been scrolling at this point.

> ptrace all ext

And then you issued 'ptrace' and it started. Chain of logic.

Setting the filter didn't start the output - did it? No, it didn't.
Starting 'ptrace' did. So when you want to stop it what command would
logically be the one to look into? 'set filter' or 'ptrace'?

It just seems completely obvious to me that it would be ptrace.
