2.0.3 Image Testing

[jsquyres]

FWIW, I upgraded to the latest image (13 Feb 1243), but I'm still having the problem that I initially reported here:

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,57258.0.html

That thread eventually got hijacked to be a different issue (but also related to DHCP), but the original problem still remains.  This is a regression since pfsense 2.0.1.

That thread didn't get hijacked, it was the main issue. The interface going down/up wasn't properly relaunching dhclient, and that should be fixed now. Several others with that same issue confirmed it was fixed for them. If there is a separate issue, then you can keep posting in that thread to continue investigating, or start a new one. The symptoms will be (at least slightly) different now, and it warrants further diagnosis.

php: /system_advanced_sysctl.php: The command '/sbin/sysctl hw.syscons.kbd_reboot="0"' returned exit code '1', the output was 'sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.syscons.kbd_reboot''

smallish glitch in current 2.0.3 pre. That variable is gone I guess?

[jimp]

That tunable is only valid on a full install w/vga, or nano+vga

It wouldn't be present on an embedded kernel or regular nanobsd.

Proxy Squid: Realtime stat (sqstat) doesn't auto refresh.

Packages are not relevant to 2.0.x image testing. That would be a subject for the packages board.

Planning to upgrade from 2.0.1 to try and improve MTU control on PPP.

Is it worth going to 2.0.2 or straight to 2.0.3?  I guess second question is how close is 2.0.3 to being finalized - days/weeks/months?

Thanks

2.0.3 is better than 2.0.2 at the moment.
It would be out already, but we're waiting on FreeBSD to release a security announcement on OpenSSL that we need to account for.

You guys ROCK!

What happened to the 2.0.3 download folders? Nothing there anymore.

Snapshot pruning probably caught them, I hadn't made a new one in a week. I'll run another off, check back late tonight.

[stan-qaz]

I'm currently running this (below) version, would it be useful to grab the new snapshot you are creating tonight?

2.0.3-PRERELEASE (amd64)
built on Wed Feb 13 12:44:38 EST 2013
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p13

[jimp]

There are some minor, but beneficial fixes. May as well get it. We're still in a holding pattern waiting on FreeBSD to release the OpenSSL SA, but we've found a couple little things here and there.

[asterix]

Any estimated time given by FreeBSD on the OpenSSL SA release?

[jimp]

None that I've seen. Last I saw was this on Feb 7 saying that the patches are in review… http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-security/2013-February/006945.html

How about adding manpages to nanobsd 4G images? I am a freebsd newb and I am kinda missing those when I am screwing around. I mean…

Filesystem           Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ufs/pfsense0    1.8G    178M    1.5G    11%    /

…free space is nice to have but this is a waste IMO. :)

[jimp]

Not a good topic for this thread, but it's something that someone could make a package for eventually

@senser:

You can get FreeBSD man pages online at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

[senser]

OK, I have created a new thread for the manpages: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,59280.0.html

It looks like there may have been a DHCP logging change with the latest 2.0.3 build and in v2.1, see:

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,59329.msg318796.html#msg318796

Don't know if it was intentional or not but dhclient logging has recently changed.
No longer logging DHCPREQUEST DHCPACK and bound messages for DHCP renewals.
Now only logging the RENEW and Creating resolve.conf messages for DHCP renewals.
