      uhmm… Several things,

      • Is there support now for per-user bandwidth throttling on the captive portal?
          I'm more than willing to test :)
      • Is it possible to enlarge the file-limit of the uploaded files to the Captive Portal system? (i think its currently set to a 250kb limit)
          This is an important issue, at least for me, cause I'm sure that even the lower specs of the servers even of the low-end line have several gigabytes of
          hard drives so this limit seems a bit odd to hold.

        There is no per user limit yet. Enlargement of the CP elements is possible (though not done yet) as we moved the embedded images to 128 MB partitionsize (mainly due to upgrade reasons). We'll have to discuss and to check how much space we are willing to give to CP elements now in order to not break upgradability. We also should discuss if we don't want to drop the limit for full installs as there most likely should be enough space to upload a bunch of files on these.

          When was this done? The images I downloaded today only create a 64mb partition - which fails to do the current upgrade due to lack of space (I daren't reboot the wrap just incase that failed upgrade will make it fail to boot). I'm currently trying to find a good way to increase the size of the partition - looks like I'll have to dl 500mb of freebsd iso just to do this :'(

            http://pfsense.com/~sullrich/1.0-SNAPSHOT-09-03-06/ has the snapshots of last night with the 128mb images. These will be upgradeable. You don't need to run an update on these atm. They are brand new.

                Ok, the image file in that direcotry is an old version that basically breaks most stuff - it reports itself as

                1.0-SNAPSHOT-08-03-06
                built on Sun Sep 3 21:35:19 UTC 2006

                so if anyone else is looking at this don;t do the update.. I've basically buggered my wrap until I can get it fixed.

                  Say what?  The date is mislabeled but its absolultely the latest image.

                  Speak up about what the problems are…

                    Ok, well first of all I'm on a wireless connection talking to the wrap and I have captive portal enabled for wireless. Every 10-15 seconds I am forced to log in again - which is a PITA - especially when trying to reply :) - idle timeout is set at 120 minutes, with no hard timeout.

                    .. and the reason I did the update originally, is still an issue…

                    update:

                    Applied the mini update to the image, seems to have cured the captive portal logout issue, but the $PORTAL_ACTION$ and $PORTAL_REDIRURL$ are still broken for me on the error page.

                      I have upgraded 2 systems today with that image without problems. What exactly is the problem? Non of these systems is using captive portal though.

                        Please run the following from a command prompt:

                        /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                        fetch -o /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/index.php.txt

                        Then test again.

                        If it still does not work, please give directions on how to reproduce problem, I have to confess that I am ignorant about those two options.

                          This fixes the problem but introduces another.  :) - the error page now has the correct translatons of $PORTAL_ACTION$ and $PORTAL_REDIRURL$ but the following error is generated when valid user details are supplied  to either the login or error page.

                          
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: captiveportal_get_next_ipfw_ruleno() in /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php on line 245

                                Okay, changes will be present in RC3.

                                Thanks for testing.
