      It seems this problem still exists.
      Using built on Sat Jan 29 23:42:13 EST 2011  and PPTP VPN server and hat 2 locks during this day.
      Now I will disable vpn server until this issue is resolved. Can not do onsite debugging because this is remote production firewall. I need to make it sable for now: Will downgrading to pre 19th help?

        Just put a debug.pfftpproxy=1 and that will remove the hang.

            Running Fri Jan 28 05:30:15 EST 2011, I now have an uptime of 2 days, 23 hours.  I am going to hold off upgrading to newer snapshots for the moment :).

              Also as an aside, should we be putting debug.pfftpproxy=1 somewhere in a config file to survive a reboot?

                put it in system -> advance -> system tunables

                I returned to 18.01 snapshot and hopefully avoid this issue

                    ermal,

                    does debug.pfftpproxy=1 still disable both the ftp and pptp proxy?

                    Roy…

                        I just tested downloading via ftp does work using a web browser. I can't imagine that noone in the company downloaded files via ftp, but could very well be that there wasn't much ftp traffic in the last days.

                        How would I properly test this to trigger a lock up? Does it only apply to passive ftp?

                            Installed snapshot from January 31st yesterday and system froze after 20 minutes. 4 freezes with 20-60 minutes interval so far. System freezes completely, no keys are accepted anymore. There were no configuration changes when the system froze. Potentially ftp from client side was used as we have a couple of cron’ed jobs.

                            I’d exclude the hardware. It is a HP server running the late December snapshot without any hassle throughout January. It was running earlier 2.0 version since November and before 1.X versions for 2 years. Nothing has changed concerning hardware.

                            I have been going back to snapshot from January 6th. I did not add debug.pfftpproxy=1.

                            Sorry, I can not provide any helpful hints as there was nothing to see on the console. All I can do is provide you with the information that there still seems to be an issue.

                            Can I access older snapshots?

                                Arthur,

                                Probably you check this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31721.0.html

                                I have some issue with the current release too, this is the thread where I added them: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,32458.75.html

                                Because I am running pfSense 2.0 Beta in production environment (more adrenalin => less coffee required) I went back to the snapshot from January 6th, which is running fine now for the whole day here.

                                Chris

                                  I need to snapshot at January 6th for tests.
                                  In repository of snapshots have January 7th or more recent.

                                  where i find ?

                                    Hi Ermal,
                                    hardware for my firewall is all mainstream (intel chipset, realteck lan…). Locks were occurring on uniprocessor and SMP kernels. Only specific thing is it that pptp vpn server is used and zabbix client was installed. I removed zabbix client and returned on 18.01 snapshot. Now I have 24h uptime. Will report here if something happen. Tomorrow I will try to be more helpful and do some onsite debugging.

                                      For me 18.01 snapshot works fine - 24h+ uptime

                                        It looks like this issue have been solved.  I have several days of uptime and some use of ftp and not even one problem so far.

                                            Should we still be using the debug.pfftpproxy = 1 or on the latest snapshots should we no longer need to do that?
