@Mr.:

For example, now I see there is a package update for freeradius. I like to check first if something is broken before I update, so her comes the cumbersome process of having to wade and wade and wade.

It makes much sense to give each package its own subsection, not only for Squid, just like the main layout of this forum is, where each 'sub system' of pfSense has its own section too.

The current system of "sub-board by function" seems to be working well for now and has reduced the amount of threads to wade through considerably. If there is enough demand and it makes sense we could add an "Authentication" packages sub-board or some other appropriate name.

My worry with the "every package gets a sub-board" system is the maintenance and usability reasons, we already have a few people that don't use the new system (although it is catching on) and we have to move their threads.

You can also report threads that are out of place, with the subcategory you think it belongs to in the report description. We try and catch them as they pop up, but this helps :)

@kejianshi:

So I don't have to periodically flush all pfsense.org related cookies and cache anymore?  ;D

if you ever hit anything that requires doing so, please let me know. I'd guess that's all fixed now though.

@GruensFroeschli:

Most spam we kill by hand is only a single post per account.
So a rate-limit won't help.

A rate limit is not intended for those accounts.  It's intended for the ones jimp mentiontions below.

@jimp:

They wise up to that and post X+Y spam posts where X=# of posts before links are allowed. It may help stop a couple, but not the bad ones… We get some that drop between 20-50 spam posts in a very short time span.

Thanks.

Thanks, I fixed that so the forum's limit is now enforced instead (~4 MB per file).

Well, your explorer.exe shell crashes… Definitely not forum or pfSense fault. See the event log.

Yeah, if we find them or they get reported as out of place, they can go to the IPsec board.

rgr that

What was the old e-mail address? Currently it doesn't show any notifications configured for your userid.

just would like to see my alias in the firewall logs rather than the IP's , especially if my alias only has one ip or in a range

Did you check in your profile settings? I think thats how i changed mine.  ;)

@Gertjan:

Ah, ok - just a 'forum problem'.

Yeah, server ran out of disk space (y'all generate a lot of web logs, some were missing from rotation).

@Gertjan:

I thought, yesterday, that it could as well be normal, because I received that huge mail from GIT announcing me that 2.2 has been put in the oven, that there was a huge visitor activity  :)

Well now 2.2 is out, and we're seeing a big bump in traffic, but still plenty of capacity to spare. :)  Primary datacenter:

@Gertjan:

IMHO: that means getting the pfSense from on unidentified source.

I guess that will never happen. And If I see one, I would never download it for that reason.

Mirrors exists because they are syncing with the official source - and no one else.

Note that 'mirrors' often propose more then only pfSense. Thousands of projects uses mirrors, so they are always busy.

I have nothing against "Bittorrent" but I would never use it to download an executable. Other type of files, ok  ;)

The official mirrors could have the BitTorrent file. Torrent files contain SHA1-160 for each block, and each block size is known, so you can't just pad block sizes to more easily forge a SHA1. As someone else has pointed out, one could just verify the final image's SHA256 with what's on the site.

Yep - haha

Sometimes older methods are the most reliable.  ;)
I agree though, that page could use some editing. The information is all there it just doesn't seem logically laid out. There have been a huge number of improvements and additions to the wiki in the run up to 2.2. This might well see some editing.

@Derelict:

Couldn't it at least get a list of scopes, and while it's iterating through the leases file building the page count the active/inactive, etc status in each scope and present totals for each scope at the bottom?  Giving those totals to SNMP periodically would be a bonus.  It's pretty sad that ISC dhcpd doesn't maintain a dhcpd.status file with this sort of info alongside the dhcpd.leases file.

Yes, it could, but see above, re: Extra processing power and RAM that doesn't scale well.

IIRC it does keep some stats and info that can be queried via OMAPI but I never have quite got that rigged up and working in a way that helped.
