Packages wishlist?
-
I would like to see spamd back on the package list for inbound spam-filtering and sendmail for outbound email only. If needed I can put a bounty for someone helping me create a lightweight version of sendmail package.
Check the bounty section, spamd is already on the list there. Maybe contribute to this bounty if you are really interested in this.
-
An ospf package would be great (don't know if there is a bounty yet though).
-
I would really like to see dansguardian added as a package. It is far superior to squidguard.

Already been requested countless times and debunked countless times due to its license.

Looks VERY interesting. Have you tried setting it up on a normal Linux?
Repeat after me FreeBSD is not Linux :P

"Already been requested countless times and debunked countless times due to its license."
How is that? Does that mean I have been using it illegally all this time?
-
Prolly not if your a home user, but as i remember it commercial use is forbidden.. But you could do a search :)
Maybe SquidGuard will fit your needs ? -
I work at a public library. I have used both squidguard and dansguardian. Dansguardian is far superior. Squidguard, while a fine piece of software, is just not enough. The scum that walk in the door at our library found all sorts of ways around it. They have a much harder time with dansguardian.
Am I skirting dansguardian's license using it for a non-profit organization? Even with the license, what difference does that make such that pfsense can't have a package for it?
-
The first page of this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,2703.0.html explains the problem with dansguardian.
-
All I get out of reading that link is that DansGuardian is free for non-commercial use. That is exactly what I use it for now, in a non-profit public library.
Where exactly is the problem?
-
Did you even read the thread???
Well, interpreting the license allows us to make the package available at least. And we may even include it into pfSense. The problems start when people start installing dansGuardian on site.
I want to make it part of a unix-like distribution such as RedHat.
Yes.
I want to try it out for potential commercial use.
Yes, but only once.
I want to use it commercially[2].
No, you must buy a download licence.
I want to incorporate it into our product or solution.
No, you must buy a solution provider download licence. -
Yes - all three pages.
So you make the package such that the end-user has to download DG. OR - the package installer downloads it. Then, as far as I am concerned, if you are not a commercial user, you are within the license.
Did Daniel Barron specifically say that you could not write a package for DG? Did anybody ask him directly? How is it that IPCop can get DG but pfSense can't? Sounds like somebody has a grudge somewhere to me!
-
No grudge here :)
Maybe you should start the discussion in the other thread again / open a bounty if you really feel that this should be incorporated into pfSense.
-

He used to work for Smoothwall. Not sure how it fits into IPCOP.
-
If I wanted to write a package for DG, where do I start? Is there a howto for that sort of thing for pfsense?

Here is part of an email conversation between me and Dan Barron:
–-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello -First - thanks for a wonderful piece of software!
I use DansGuardian at the public library I work at, and am having great success. I am
also experimenting with the pfsense firewall, and would really like to run some sort of
filter on pfsense. My choice would be DG, but the folks over at pfSense seem to be
scared of your license, andI don't know why. It's GPL. All I say is if you want to download it from my site for
the purpose of commercial use then pay. Once you have it having paid for the download or
not then it's GPL. You can do what you like with it including redistribute.
–----------------------------------------------------
So I'll say it again: Where is the problem? -
Its either GPL or not. He needs to make up his mind. This is shady.
-
so, is about hamachi again. I see the past post about that, around 2005, and in the freebsd ports system have the port of that. So, the wish is for that package.
-
I would love to see some sort of Antivirus/Antispyware added to the packages.
