PFBlocker causing system hang
-
Hi everyone,
We've been chasing an intermittent hang (2 to 8 days appart) since moving from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2.
40 days ago, during the last lock up, we did a fresh install of 2.0.3 pre-release and system has been stable since. We did not re-install pfBlocker at this time or any other packages.
2 days ago we re-installed pfBlocker and today we had a hang.
System is running AMD64 bit build, Intel nics, and has run 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 for over a year without issues. Plenty of RAM and CPU.
Any suggestions?

Pfblocker has no binaries, it just create alias,rules and download blacklists.
I have no idea how it could crash a system.
Can you check what kind of report you have. Php, core dump?

The WAN interface hangs, the system is still up with console but WAN NIC is a zombie. Only way to bring it back is a reboot. Very odd this does not occur without pfBlocker installed, but with it installed we crash within 48 hours.
Perhaps it's memory related with pfblocker putting additional memory pressure on the box.
