Keyboard map and smtp send..

[Hank]

Hi,

How can I set a national keyboard map as default for pfsense?

Secondly, if I want to send small status messages as emails via my isp's smtp server, how do I do that?

Thanks a lot for help or comments

pfSense doesn't support sending mails currently. If you have a remote syslogserver you can use this one to generate the mails on specific events.

Ok, so there is absolutely no other solution to a simple mta with pfsense than using a syslogserver..?

What about the keyboard mapping, seems not to be a big deal, but I haven't found any info on it?

Hank,
If you use a none embeded version of pfsense and have little experince with linux/freebsd, then you can use this :

SSH to you firewal and install ssmtp package :
pkg_add -r ssmtp
Then look at /usr/local/etc/ssmtp to finding out on how to configure and send email with your firewall

for savety you must then alow only 127.0.0.1 to send email
no other ip's
if you don't do that when it can be used to send spam

OK thanks will try this and report back.  I'm aware of the spam danger.

As of the keyboard mapping, doesn't it exist any solution for this with pfsense?  I thought that such stuff was kind of basic….?
