This is how I have gotten to the files. 1. Enable SSH: go to 'Advanced' and then check 'Enable Secure Shell'. 2. Now open an ftp client and use SFTP from inside the LAN. 3. The username and password will be the same you use for the web GUI. 3. Set the root directory of the ftp client to / and you will have access to all files. If you are using windows you might want to try one of the following: http://www.webdrive.com/ http://www.sftpdrive.com/ These programs map the sftp to a drive letter and then you can access the files as if they are local.

Woops, this should be fixed now in upcoming snapshots.

Finally found the cause of the strange behaviour. It appears I had also a 1:1 NAT mapping and this conflicts with the Virtual IP (proxy arp). After looking after the firewall_virtual_ip_edit.php it appears it is checking the wrong field ($_POST['ipaddr']  instead of $_POST['subnet']) for this kind of errors and proceeds adding the virtual ip.

http://devwiki.pfsense.org/PfSenseDevHome has some build instructions as well.

@pcarter.bluelinevoip: I've got no experience in XML or PHP however and was wondering if there was something like an idiot's guide to creating a pfsense package ? I wish there was, someone is supposed to start work on one soon, so hopefully we'll see some good documentation coming together. Looking at the files for existing packages is your best bet right now.

I got this fixed by installing the newest version of bsdinstaller from cvs.

Thanks.  I just fixed this issue.

@cmb: Does that make a major, measurable difference? If so, I'm sure patches would be welcome. sbin/pfctl -ss on my machine lasts about 5 seconds with the states table about 60K, 4 times is about 20 seconds. reusing a file can reduces total time down to about 5 seconds.

have you finished the package ??

it downloads everything from cvs. leave it running overnight.

ok will post it

yeah i realise this just thought you might know a quick fix or something i was missing…. guess im on my own then.... i created another full bsd install on another comp instead and that did the trick for what i was after... ta.

you find them on the pfsense develphers image

Go to the Wiki of pfsense and have a look at the proposed articles. This just might be it: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=ReBrandingSupport Good luck  ;) I presume that you want to rebuild it afterwards…. but, please. Don't. If you couldn't find the link in this post - then please note that rebuilding pfsense is another ball game yet  :) Although, it is possible.

This process is not supported.  You are on your own.

The mirrors have dev iso's from 16 May. http://pfsense.org/mirror.php?section=downloads/developers As Scott said, the dev version is unsupported by the devs. From experience, this kind of problem resolves itself after a few days. So, patience, grasshopper. ;)

lost electricity so dont know. will try again.
