        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  :-

                                    Different goals.  We do not plan on turning pfSense into a server platform just yet.  We need to focus on firewalling.

                                        Currently our package manager uses:

                                        • XML

                                        • PHP

                                        • Shell Scripts

                                        • Much sweat and tears

                                          No problem. already got the xml and shell scripting down, its the php part that I have no experience with. anyhow I dont thing It should be hard for me to learn since im a programmer.  ;)

                                            I would love to have nano (the text editor)

                                            Grrr..here I go and try to figure out how to compile from source code and all that it took was pkg_add -r nano && rehash
                                            Thanks. I'm not so familiar with freebsd so I tend to do stuff backwards  ::)
