(I was working up a reply, and you responded before I could hit submit… but there is still something I can add: You can also control the tag, or get a message in from another command like so: echo Hello World | logger -t mytag -p local0.info

Still no ETA. I post snapshots every now and then from 2.1 on FreeBSD 8.1 here: http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ipv6/ but there are none for 9 yet.

hhm ok after some testing around i will come to the result that i need to change some sed command's inside the builder_common.sh after changing all sed ""  (all sed's with double quotes) to sed (without double quotes) it works and the errors are gone :) sed "" change to sed example: sed "" -e /ttyd0/s/off/on/ ${PFSENSEBASEDIR}/etc/ttys change to sed -e /ttyd0/s/off/on/ ${PFSENSEBASEDIR}/etc/ttys now the pfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE-nanobsd (i386) with vga is booting yoohooo :) hope someone else can need this info best regards ren22 portsnap fetch && portsnap extract cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts ./clean_build.sh ./set_version.sh RELENG_8_1 cvsup.de.freebsd.org ./update_git_repos.sh ./apply_kernel_patches.sh ./build_iso.sh ./build_nano.sh Using /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/remove.list.iso.8 … Operation ./build_nano.sh has started at Sat Nov 19 21:10:51 CET 2011 Remove list: /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/remove.list.iso.8                   Copy list: /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/../builder_scripts/copy.list.RELENG_8_0             MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX: /usr/obj.pfSense           pfSense build dir: /usr/pfSensesrc/src             pfSense version: 2.0-RELEASE                     CVS User: sullrich                   Verbosity:                     BASE_DIR: /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/../..                     BASEDIR: /usr/local/pfsense-fs                 Checkout dir: /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/../../pfSense                 Custom root: /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/../../pfSense               CVS IP address: cvs.pfsense.org                 Updates dir: /tmp/builder//updates                 pfS Base dir: /usr/local/pfsense-fs               FreeSBIE path: /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/../../freesbie2               FreeSBIE conf: /dev/null                   Source DIR: /usr/pfSensesrc/src                   Clone DIR: /usr/local/pfsense-clone               Custom overlay:             pfSense version: 8               FreeBSD branch: RELENG_8_1                 pfSense Tag: RELENG_2_0                 EXTRAPLUGINS: customroot                 EXTRAPLUGINS: customscripts                 EXTRAPLUGINS: pkginstall                 EXTRAPLUGINS: buildmodules             MODULES_OVERRIDE: i2c             MODULES_OVERRIDE: ipmi             MODULES_OVERRIDE: acpi             MODULES_OVERRIDE: ndis             MODULES_OVERRIDE: ipfw             MODULES_OVERRIDE: ipdivert             MODULES_OVERRIDE: dummynet             MODULES_OVERRIDE: fdescfs             MODULES_OVERRIDE: cpufreq             MODULES_OVERRIDE: opensolaris             MODULES_OVERRIDE: zfs             MODULES_OVERRIDE: glxsb             MODULES_OVERRIDE: runfw             MODULES_OVERRIDE: if_stf               Git Repository: https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense.git                   Git Branch:               Custom Config:                     ISOPATH: /tmp/builder//pfSense.iso                     IMGPATH: /tmp/builder//pfSense.img                 MEMSTICKPATH: /tmp/builder//pfSense-memstick.img                   KERNELCONF:         TARGET_ARCH_CONF_DIR: /usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/i386/conf/     FREESBIE_COMPLETED_MAIL:         FREESBIE_ERROR_MAIL:                     OVFPATH: /tmp/builder/                     OVFFILE: pfSense.ovf                     OVAFILE: pfSense.ova                     OVFVMDK: pfSense.vmdk                   OVFSTRINGS:                       OVFMF:                     OVFCERT:                     SRC_CONF: /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/conf/src.conf.embedded.8 CROSS_COMPILE_PORTS_BINARIES:             SPLIT_ARCH_BUILD:     UPDATES_TARBALL_FILENAME: /tmp/builder//updates/pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-RELEASE-i386-20111119-2110.tgz         PKG_INSTALL_PORTSPFS:   CUSTOM_CALL_SHELL_FUNCTION: Cleaning build directories: pfsense-fs pfsense-clone Done!

I figured it out by looking at one of the pre-recorded macros. global $config; This isn't in the help or documentation anywhere.. I guess I'm the only person who ever got tripped up on it though!

@ermal: There is rate limit on the login attempts a host can make. So its not based on user but host sending login attempts. Its hardcoded in php code to 5 attempts in 15minutes but do not quote me on that. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for. If it were configurable for # attempts and # minutes for future, it would be nice. Also worth adding to the documentation if correct. While it allows multiple clients (which causes the limit to scale) it's not nearly enough for heavy duty brute force to be viable. Thanks. As to the others…? :)

Thanks jimp! I see you updated http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Creating_Your_Own_Package_Repository already too, fantastic.

Still not recommended. There is no way to get all of the required compilers, headers, tools, etc, on there and still have a system one would consider secure and usable. If you must share hardware, I'd suggest using a VM setup like ESX and make a pfSense VM and a separate VM for your other services.

May not take much to do really, it could be as simple as adding some sortable tags to the table there, as we have on many other pages. Open a feature request ticket on redmine (set target version to 'future') and if someone gets a moment to look at it, it may be easy.

Thanks. In the next months i plain made the subscription (very low money, everything starting from begin now) and i will request that. Thank you for the anwser. Best Regards.

All packages work that way. <config>is an array inside of a package like that. It's interpreted by the XML parser as an array, so it gets an array index. Some packages have multiple configs (multiple tabs, etc) and rely on that.</config>

You can get the green_saver.ko from here: http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ko-8.1/ Place that in /boot/modules/ and then add it to /boot/loader.conf.local like so: green_saver_load="YES" That may be enough. If you need to tweak the time, install the shellcmd package and then setup a vidcontrol -t nnn command to change the timeout.

Hi, I'm done with debugging of the voucher system. Next week maybe i can provide more details about the key generation an the databases. I had written a first "test-php-script" and it looks like it works. Can somebody provide me the development documentation/scripts/sources (e.g. github ..)? I have only found this: https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense . Work in Progress …. :)

Is there anyone to answer my first question?

I do not think that will solve what you are after. Mostly will break other things.

Check out the replies here. I had the same question and just successfully requested the change to be made officially!
