    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @kabeda If memory serves, that old version of ntopng did not run as user ntopng, but as user nobody. There are lots of problems in that old version. Anyway, check the ownership and permissions of /var/db/ntopng and make sure it matches the user that ntopng runs as. You may need to set ownership of the entire hierarchy. Example: /usr/sbin/chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/ntopng However, the better choice would be to upgrade to a more recent version.

    I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

    @elvisimprsntr Updated 25.07.1 to 1.90.6_1, copied and pasted from @elvisimprsntr's post: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6_1.pkg (Why it worked this time and not on previous updates: Over the last couple of days, I ran into the "Shared object "libutil.so.10, not found..." error that triggered the version 25.07.1 update issues some of us have been having. After I fixed that error, I decided to go back to the usual update method, and it worked.)

    @tinfoilmatt Thanks! I have done that and it worked when forcing just her TV out the Centurylink.. My problem is my local box here. Im missing something because I can not get it to pass traffic from the WAN to the Wireguard tunnel. Ive got some time today so will chip away on my lab setup to see if I can finally accomplish it here first.

    There are plenty of detailed how-to documents on the doc wiki ( http://doc.pfsense.org ) and elsewhere on the forum. Some searching should turn them up.

    I'm still not sure what is causing this. I see it on only certain routers. I have several customer routers that ntop runs for months on, or indefinitely. And my main router here at work won't run it for more than 10 minutes before it crashes. It's very hit and miss.

    Just installed 2.0b and had this issue myself, you can fix it by ssh'ing to the pfsense box and creating a symlink for this file against the newer .5 file: ln -s /lib/libz.so.5 /lib/libz.so.4 Then you can run it manually (or use the GUI): /usr/local/bandwidthd/bandwidthd Bandwidthd maintainer should probably be notified of this issue to update their package.

    @Grey: Short notice: I fixed the issue by installing libiconv and texinfo packages manually gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios# ./check_procs /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "check_procs" gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios#  ldd ./check_load ./check_load: libintl.so.8 => not found (0x0) libiconv.so.3 => not found (0x0) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28174000) gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios#  pkg_add -r libiconv Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/libiconv.tbz... Done. gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios#  ldd ./check_load ./check_load: libintl.so.8 => not found (0x0) libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x2807f000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28174000) gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios#  pkg_add -r texinfo Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/texinfo.tbz... Done. Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/All/gettext-0.17_1.tbz... Done. install-info: not found pkg_add: command 'install-info --quiet /usr/local/info/autosprintf.info /usr/local/info/dir' failed install-info: not found pkg_add: command 'install-info --quiet /usr/local/info/gettext.info /usr/local/info/dir' failed gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios#  ldd check_tcp check_tcp: libssl.so.5 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.5 (0x28082000) libcrypto.so.5 => /lib/libcrypto.so.5 (0x280c3000) libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x2821c000) libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28225000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2831a000) So it does throw errors about install-info not available, but that doesn't stop it from extracting the needed library. But please (to the maintainer auf the package) fix those dependency issues, so one hasn't to manually add packages, that are perhaps overwritten/forgotten after updating the base system. At least deliver the needed libraries with the package :) Thankies! J. With 1.2.3 released, I would just like to second this request. There also appears to be a bug sometimes where the "state" of the enabled check box is lost or reversed. I have seen instances where the service is not running when the box is checked, but if you uncheck it and then save, it will start the service. I believe, if you leave the checkbox alone and just hit save it will toggle the state of the service too, so it's almost like it's always toggling it and the checkbox is actually not used. If possible, SSL support for NRPE would be great as well.

    BandwidthD log rotation

    Yes. I have been using it long enough now for the logs to rotate. It works as stated in the README except for 2 strange problems: The logs do not rotate at exactly month end but a few days before month end. I assume this has to do with the moment BandwidthD does its graphing at the documentation state it will rotate the logs during the next graphing run. For some reason I get double entries in my log file which. The entries are exact copies of each other so filtering them out later is not difficult but it is annoying. So if anybody else is experiencing this, please let me know so I know it is not unique to my setup. And if someone knows how to fix the problem, please let me know as well.

    UPDATE:  You're right, the Nokia IP330 firewall turned out to be considerably less powerful than I thought. I recently ordered Shaw's 100 mbps service, and with just ONE decently seeded torrent the pfsense f/w CPU held steady at about 55%.  Even just surfing at the same time resulted in 100% CPU, saturation, and laaaag :( So, that's been retired, and an Athlon XP 64 3000+ with a gig of RAM moved in instead, and all is well.  I did the math, this should just slightly exceed requirements…so ought to be just about right. Anyway, thanks again jamesdean, for taking the time to help me out!  Happy Holidays :)

    I would start a new thread for that. I really don't know the answer and nobody would find that question in this thread. Your best chance at getting an answer would be a new topic with a more relevant subject line.
