      I'd really love to see snort added to the packages.  Squidguard would also be a nice addition.

      I've already got plans on a squidGuard package once I've gotten Squid to a stable release.

      Mike,

      I am really looking forward to that!! Great work so far I love Pfsense, such a great idea!!!  ;D

          I don't know if you guys know hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc) I have a virtual network card for it in my linux box and I love it, I can always "call home" from anywere I am.
          Having a virtual Hamachi interface on a pfSense box would be totally great!

            This looks interesting, I'll have a look at it. Seems it's for linux though, so it might need some porting.

              Hamachi's source is closed, and nobody has reported success running it on BSD systems. A developer stated back in September that demand for a BSD version is high enough that they may look into making one in the future.

                There is actually somebody that was running it on OpenBSD (with few problems) http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=1079&highlight=bsd

                  I believe the topic in question referred to running Hamachi on a Windows or Linux system that was set up behind the pf firewall - not running the client itself on BSD.

                        We have pkg_add.

                        Run (from a shell prompt):

                        pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/All/kismet-200507.r1a.tbz
                        rehash

                        Then kismet will be available from a shell

                                Generally an extremely bad idea.  Firewalls shouldn't also be used as general purpose servers.  But hey, in the spirit of "allowing one to shoot oneself in the foot" I suppose if someone wrote a package for this it'd be added.

                                  This will make more sense down the road when the package manager outgrows pfSense and we become a firewalling or server platform. :P

                                      Can we?  No.  Can you?  Yes.

                                      We'll happily take package submissions but the coreteam is too busy to create packages.

                                          Use /etc/crontab.  We have a function call to update a file with a line.

                                          For studying, use cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages

                                            FreeNAS should be pretty easy to integrate into pfSense as a pkg … it seems a good way to use extra HD's  :-
