Unable to Sync Rules without XMLRPC Code 2 error

[cmb]

nic:  Run this from a SSH session:

tcpdump -i fxp0 -s 1515 -tttt -w /tmp/sync.pcap src or dst 192.168.255.2

replace fxp0 with the interface you're using to sync. Then go to your CARP Settings page, verify your settings, and click Save. Wait a couple minutes, check your logs and make sure it's failed, and go back to your SSH session and hit ctrl-c.

Then go to exec.php and download /tmp/sync.pcap and email (cmb at pfsense dot org) it to me.

superwutze, I'd ask you to do the same but you're using HTTPS so examining the network traffic to find the underlying cause isn't possible.

i tried http/https, various ports and passwords, various carp-configurations (what to sync) and so on.
the link to the wiki was already posted above and i considered it carefully but to no success.

a note to special characters: the default generated rules already contain '-' in their description, also the aliases get comments added with timestamps in them containing ':'. so i guess those characters are ok (but i have non other than [[:alnum:]] in my own rules and descriptions, not even blanks).
