      Hi, everyone

      Right now , i'm on pfSense 2.0.3-RELEASE (amd64) .

      and almost everything work fine.

      So, I hv install vsftpd and samba.
      ( follow this instruction link http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages )

      Everything seem ok.  I can start/status/stop ( vsftpd & samba ) services.
      But i need to make autostart service on start-up / boot.

      So, pfSense hv not "rc.conf" in /etc/

      I follow  google search guide of many link
      to create /etc/rc.conf.local.

      This is my "rc.conf.local"

      vsftpd_enable="YES"
      samba_enable="YES"
      nmbd_enable="YES"
      smbd_enable="YES"
      winbindd_enable="YES"

      Right now , i still can't autostart vsftpd&samba services on start-up.

      Please help/guide me. sir
      Thank you very much

          Obligatory warning:

          FTP and Samba have no place on a firewall

          Remove those immediately and setup an isolated server for those tasks if you need them on your network.
