Limiters under 2.1-BETA0 ?

[dhatz]

I just happened to notice that on pfsense 2.1-BETA0 2-Jun-2012 the limiters don't seem to work. Although my system still creates a /tmp/rules.limiter file, I can't seem to find any references to those limiters in my rules.debug file, and no bandwidth limits are imposed.

Limiters used to work on 2.1-DEVEL when I last checked a few days ago.

Still no luck with limiters under 2.1-BETA0 4-Jun-2012.

It seems that the cause of this problem was the upgrade code issue described in http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,50182.0.html

I had to fix the config by hand:

$ diff config.xml ../pfsense2.1-config-fw.localdomain-20120529162500.xml
