    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    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...

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.

    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.
