      Hi

      I have found this patch, that I want to try adding to pfSense, to make it accept wildcard DNS entries on the internal DNS server.

      I just do not know how to use the patch - can anyone help me?

      I have gotten pfSense to accept SSH and I have succesfully transfered the patch file to pfSense, but I do not know what I need to do now.

        Even though that patch is rather old, it does seem to still apply:

        Start shell ( 8 )

        fetch http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/attach_get/132/wildcards.patch

        patch -p1 -C -d / < wildcards.patch

        If that says it all applies cleanly, then do:

        patch -p1 -d / < wildcards.patch

        The -C will do a test run without actually altering any files.

          Thanks, that worked like charm on 1.2.2-RELEASE.

          Will be running a litte more testing, but I am pretty sure I will be running pfSense in production very soon.

          Thank you very much for your quick help!

          Kind regards,
          Niklas
