1.3 already has this feature. (usermanager)

Got it!

It's in the etc/rc.* files

New footer to celebrate going over to FreeBSD 7

The graphs are only generated when  viewing the webpage.

Alternatively you can use curl and download the images directly onto your webserver by linking to the status_rrd_graph_img.php

The picture clearly says, 1 minute average for the 16 hour graph and 5 minute average for the 2 days graph.

It's exactly what it says, the amount of traffic over 5 minutes, then divided by 5 minutes. Which is not the same as 1 minute averages ofcourse.

To enable a larger LAN MTU (jumbo Frames) in the absence of a menu option can I just add the following to the interface section of the config file? (driver permitting)

<lan><if>re1</if>
        <mtu>9000</mtu>
<ipaddr>192.168.100.254</ipaddr>
<subnet>24</subnet>
<media><mediaopt><bandwidth>100</bandwidth>
<bandwidthtype>Mb</bandwidthtype>
<bridge><disableftpproxy></disableftpproxy></bridge></mediaopt></media></lan>
<wan><if>ste0</if>
<mtu><blockpriv><media><mediaopt><bandwidth>100</bandwidth>
<bandwidthtype>Mb</bandwidthtype>
<spoofmac><disableftpproxy><ipaddr>dhcp</ipaddr>
<dhcphostname></dhcphostname></disableftpproxy></spoofmac></mediaopt></media></blockpriv></mtu></wan>

There are a ton of bindings and customizations in the way things start up, the way things are configured in FreeBSD, etc. You'd need to either use our whole build system (which is a real pain), or write your own init and make a lot of customizations to the pfSense code. Might be better to start from m0n0wall depending on what you want to do. Or if it's something related to pfSense, it would likely make the most sense to just create a package and avoid the pain and many, many hours that go into creating your own system like this from scratch.

Found my answer when i did some research on the forum.

I've seen this happen before on BSD systems where realtek interfaces had issues staying on the network unless traffic was always flowing through them.  In that case, it was a driver issue.  What kind of card are you using?

yes, i could ping the monitor ip through wan 2, and no info in sistem logs.

but i works now, for i  dont know somehow.

thanx for your concern….

I also missed how to save the configuration (I was trying to go to floppy) - no other feedback or options I saw on the webgui for saving (other than backup/restore - which I did).  Only after googling did I find this thread and was able to select the "option 98" to get the save made to the floppy disk (then used the restore option to save prior work to the floppy).

Could help usability a bit by keeping the save option "98" active later (maybe I want to save to floppy now but a week from now want a USB configuration) and having something clearly on the Webgui too (a big "save configuration" button).  After the basic console setup of the NICs enough to get a client machine connected I'm looking up the webgui to finish configuring.

Damn. My crystal ball is broken again.

aka from where are accessing the gui? how? directly via IP? via an URL? what kind of wan?

You get the picture.

Should be fixed in CVS now.  Thanks
