  Anyways, I hacked it to skip parse_xml_config_pkg if $configfile is unset. The package appears to have installed OK, the RC scripts and binaries are there… I'm just not sure how it's going to start. I suppose I could just SSH in and start it manually from the shell, but that's not really a permanent fix. What's the deal?

  Yeah, I invested heavily in php related source material over the holiday and I highly recommend the Core PHP book.  I know most of the same material is available online, but its sometimes nice to just sit down and go over a chapter and maybe learn a few new ways of doing things or to bone up on the minutia of a particular function.

  ntop package seems particularly buggy at the moment. I have problem acessing it occasionally and to fix it I have to go into ntop settings from PFsense and click on the LAN then click change.  Which seems to reset all the stats even though it was already monitoring that.  And then the password you set doesn't even work when you get into Ntop. Plus heaps of other stuff.  It's hardly worth using,  it used to work better back in .90a. I would just wait till after release once someone has done some work on it before trying it again.

  There is not a howto atm.  You're best bet is to check out: http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/pkg_config.xml <– Master package manifest And individual packages themselves: http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages/

  I assume it was loging stats for ALL hosts,  for example it was logging every ip/website statistics anyone visited.  It is anoying when all I want is the LAN ips logged with some basic stats stored like total MB sent/recieved.  But for some reason it is no longer giving me the number value beside the graphs either I just get the graphs. Sort given up on ntop.

  @sharingzee: This is a feature available in Monowall, but not in pfSense. It is the "Mask", which applies the shaper's children pipes individually to each destination and source IP in the LAN. It's something imprescindible when using pfSense to evenly share an Internet connection. Att, SharingZee. PF + Dummynet (m0n0walls shaper) do not work at all together.  When you try to queue something with dummynet ALL traffic comes to a halt. This is a huge PFIL hooks freebsd issue and will be a lot of work to get it working.

  @ffugita: @moo: @ffugita: hum… how I do this? Any docs? use the freebsd ports documentation, however, as someone already said… it can be a disaster  ;D the problem is: how integrate ports into pfsense?  ??? :o I want some more packages into my pfsense (ie: mysql server), but… how?  ??? Again, it's not supported.  This means nobody is going to hold your hand to make this work.

  @pbs: So … I guess that "in the real world" nobody figured out how to make this PKG working! I think it should be marked as broken. If anyone has suggestion I will be more than happy to test them on my box. It's been marked broken for over a week!

  @charles.regan: plugins –> rrdplugins --> Data to Dump --> select Host --> save settings! Yeh I tried that.  Didn't work. Reinstalled clean without restoring configuration and it works now. Although now it only has graphs.  It used to show a total beside the graphs but that is gone in the new version.  Anyone know how to enable the totals or what numbers on the graph now represent the totals.  The graphs really arn't so easy to read aye.

  Neat! That's one of the things that really turned me on to pfSense project. Even though pfSense will never allow for such packages to be installed on the "main box" (aka firewall/router) it will be wonderfull to see an "alternate 1 box" or an "alternate 2 box" running packages such as IDS, Antivirus, soft PBX, etc… but all that inside a wonderfull GUI. I'm loving this :D. Cheers

  AdZapping with squid

  AdZapper is a neat little redirector for Squid.  Unfortunately squid only supports the use of only one redirector at a time.  There is a perl script called zapchain that lets you chain multiple redirectors but its not especially well written and certainly not speedy.  A debatably better solution would be to maintain a block list of the various adservers (there are lots of places to find these lits online) as an ACL in your squid.conf.  This approach has its own drawbacks as well, so consider each.

  Not sure what all will be build into the package, but something that makes trading settings easy (maybe similiar to the backup/restore process to be able to restore different sections of settings)  :)

  Posted to the "Squid Errors" thread, it seemed more appropriate.  This was just a first-pass at the WebGUI, I'm hoping to give it a more thorough beating tomorrow.

  Pfsense already does most of that stuff.  Use the package called Ntop.  And enable the rrd tool.  Takes heaps of looking around to find everything you want.  But if you click on a specific IP there is a little Icon that looks like a graph and it gives you all sorts of stats etc such as what you are looking for (that little icon took me about 8 days to find LOL). The only problem I have with the Ntop stats is I am unable to view the stats of a PC that has been turned off for a while.  I have to wait until it comes back online.  I could probably do it manually but I don't really care enough to go to the effort to find out how :).

  Thanks root worked.  I did search! So did I find a bug? with the Ntop thing? Sorry I'm a bit usless. I edited the XML file  /usr/local/pkg/ntop.xml But I am not sure how to make it "work".  When I reinstalled ntop if overwrote this file.  I was browsing for ages trying to find the "master" file. Sorry aagain :), I'm slowly learning how to do it for myself.

  Yes.  Initially, I did not know any PHP so this was a learning experience for me.  Now that I have a little better experience, I'm cleaning the code.  In addition to cleanup, I'm adding and testing the various the authentication options such as: Local Authentication RADIUs LDAP Domain The first hurdle was that the squid_rad_auth port did not exist for FreeBSD so I had to take ownership (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=87858) that so pfSense can support it.  I anticipate a hopefully more stable release out very soon so I can move onto adding squidGuard and other packages that work in conjunction with it.  The community can help by continuing to report bugs and if anyone is a coder and has a better or more efficient way to do something, please let me know as I want this package to be as solid as possible.  Thanks!
