Bug Description

Binary package hint: chkrootkit

I run chkrootkit on most of my servers. This caused me to notice there's no way to exclude things from sniffer test. I cobbled this rather special perl filter together. It would probably be cleaner to patch ifpromisc.c, but I didn't want to muck with the command line arguments there, so I took the less invasive way.

This patch works for my test cases, though the output may have an extra comma if there's a partial match. Which would cause it to be reviewed by a human, and seemed acceptable to me.
