I missed something simple: I enabled auto-promiscuous mode, but not
auto-copyall when I ran pfconfig. Followup question, does this open up a
security risk? I really don't want to give any program access to pfilt,
just nfswatch.
Here's the whole recipe:
1) Rebuild your kernel with
options PACKETFILTER
2) cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV pfilt
3) pfconfig +p +c ln0
4) nfswatch
Thanks to all who replied.
