      Does anyone know if it's possible to host a file share on the pfsense box?  Thanks.

        It is not recommended but you can manually compile samba on it.

          Really? I didn't think stock pfsense came with a compiler and the rest of the build environment.

              Indeed

              It is not recommended but you can manually compile samba for it.

              Would be more accurate.

                I think one is able to get those binaries (gcc, make, etc) from FreeBSD distro.

                  Couldn't you just grab the freebsd packages for samba - I don't think you would have to compile anything?

                  Now i run 2.1 of pfsense which is 8.3 so I would think I could just do a pkg_add -r```

                      ^ I just added details from that forum post to the docs under howtos

                      http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Samba

                      Will clean it up and verify it works as stated later
