      Am having a very similar issue as http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=59923.0 but I'm unable to add to that thread.

      I'm testing 2.1-RELEASE and the router has been needed rebooting regularly, I think due to bandwidthd.  This is a clean install and I did not specifically install bandwidthd, but it shows up using 100% CPU3, until I kill the process.

      If I reboot, bandwidthd is back using 99% of one of my CPUs.

      The Services menu does not have a Bandwidthd entry.

      pkg_info shows:

      bsdinstaller-2.0.2013.0911 BSD Installer mega-package
      gettext-0.18.3 GNU gettext package
      libiconv-1.14_1 A character set conversion library

      The only packages that appear under Installed Packages are snort and squid, which I installed.

      How can I remove bandwidthd?  Is it needed for something or has it somehow been included as part of BSD Installer mega-package?
