Hey Carter et al.

With this..

# grep ARGUS_FILTER /etc/argus.conf 
ARGUS_FILTER_OPTIMIZER=yes
ARGUS_FILTER="not ( tcp port 80 or 'icmp[icmptype]==icmp-echo && icmp[8:4]==0xAAAAAAAA && icmp[12:4]==0xAAAAAAAA' )"

I get this..

# argus[88490]: started
argus[88490]: ArgusInputFilter "not ( tcp port 80 or 'icmp[icmptype]==icmp-echo && icmp[8:4]==0xAAAAAAAA &&
icmp[12:4]==0xAAAAAAAA' )" illegal token: '

This is why I thought argus had some strange parser on pcap
expressions.
