Thanks, i'll try that.

At firewall>lan create a rule like this: pass, protocol tcp, source lan subnet, destination any, port 25, logging checked, gateway default. Make sure this rule applies before other rules allowing port 25 out like the default lan to any rule. You'll now see green pass icons in your systemlogs at status>systemlogs, firewall tab. If you want to see more than only the last few items set up a remote syslogserver so you can browse through the past few days/weeks or whatever is needed.

here is the EXACT arp statement as it is on the existing router, this is what i need to put into pfsense to replace that existing router. –-------------------------------- IP Address/Bitmask A.A.A.A/32 On Interface LAN Proxy on Interface WAN Gateway B.B.B.B On the existing router there is no mention whatsoever of either A.A.A.A or B.B.B.B in the NAT area. I hope this helps clear things up, and thank you so much for your help so far.

I also noticed that /etc/rc.d/ntpd start | stop | restart | status | poll – none of the options, do anything.  I haven't looked much at it either, but again, probably my lack of understanding here.  Just seems to work a lot differently then I would expect. Thanks, again, for any insight!

@hoba: Afaik it's hardcoded in the slbd binary and therefor not that easily configurable but I might be wrong here. You are absolutely correct.

what a gold nugget!  This kind of command is why I keep reading the forums.  I wish I knew about this sooner!

Any ideas why or how?

OK thanks will try this and report back.  I'm aware of the spam danger. As of the keyboard mapping, doesn't it exist any solution for this with pfsense?  I thought that such stuff was kind of basic….? /hank

Well, I guess if they way I said it make too hard to understand, i'll try to simplify it. In essence, How can I add/enable tunl0 interface for ipip support on pfsense ( as it's a FreeBSD system and I have no knowledge of it. though I know it's UNIX-like OS ). for example : i could not just add this "ifconfig tun0 create" on pfsense console terminal, can I ? WebGUI doesn't really help in solving what I want. Thanks,

:D

I reflashed card. First error no longer bothers Me! :) Sencond one is connected with queues. As I said before I've made queues Myself by editing config.xml file, and that's why it appers. Thanks for help!

You can add cron items directly to the config.xml with the latest snapshots. To see the syntax just open a config.xml of a recent snapshot and have a look at the very bottom.

thanks for this info. very helpful. Going to try and use php-syslog-ng upon it :) http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-syslog-ng/ or maybe http://8pussy.org/ (not porn :p syslog web interface)

Maybe this thread could have your interest http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,2645.180.html

Keeping logs at embedded systems at least is not possible as we don't write them to disk due to limited writecycles of cf-media. If you really want to have historical data use a remote syslog server. At least in non home environments (and even in those sometimes) there should be a machine around that can capture the systemlogs as this is not a heavy task. I even have a server running at home that has some tasks setup to produce today, yesterday, current week, last week rotating logs.

Geee, Logging Syslogd sometimes will go to 100% CPU utilization. Simply click save in the system logging settings tab. This is already very very known…  :P [[color=red]edit] and I even managed to eat up 'your time'… You posted just before me  :-[
