Packages wishlist?

Can you add trafd(bpft) with mysql or cnupm, and WEB interface for him?

Can we? No. Can you? Yes.
We'll happily take package submissions but the coreteam is too busy to create packages.

ok, when i build package i tell you.
But i have some question, how to be with /etc/crontab? On update pfsense he is clear, but i need it. Or you use another task sheduler system?
Where can i get specifiaction for xml parametrs for web interface? To do web interface. -

Where can i get specifiaction for xml parametrs for web interface? To do web interface.Use /etc/crontab. We have a function call to update a file with a line.
For studying, use cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages

FreeNAS should be pretty easy to integrate into pfSense as a pkg … it seems a good way to use extra HD's :-

http://www.freenas.org/Different goals. We do not plan on turning pfSense into a server platform just yet. We need to focus on firewalling.

I wouldnt mind helping with the package development, but I will need to go learn web programming. php it seems.
-
Currently our package manager uses:
-
XML
-
PHP
-
Shell Scripts
-
Much sweat and tears

No problem. already got the xml and shell scripting down, its the php part that I have no experience with. anyhow I dont thing It should be hard for me to learn since im a programmer. ;)

I would love to have nano (the text editor)
Edit
Grrr..here I go and try to figure out how to compile from source code and all that it took was pkg_add -r nano && rehash
Thanks. I'm not so familiar with freebsd so I tend to do stuff backwards ::)http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&sektion=1

pkg_add -r nano
rehash -
know what i would love? I'd love to see this "distro" remain lean and super good at being a firewall.
You want statistics and graphs? setup cacti somewhere on your network and use snmp to monitor your firewall.
You want a print server? set one up on your network somewhere.
You want dozens of other non-firewall/non-content filtering related things? Set them up.For god sakes, let your firewall be what it is intended to be…. safe, fast, stable, and secure --- inside AND out.
While I dont think a full bind implementation is the greatest idea, especially considering the numerous security exploits via bind over the years, but a "light" version as a package would be really beneficial for those of us who have reverse dns delegated to us. In my particular case, I host all my forward dns with my domain registrar, while my datacenter provider has control of my IP space. They dont do any special reverse dns hosting for anyone, but will happily delegate it out.
Something as simple as having an extra field listed along side my virtual ips for "reverse dns response" or "reverse dns name" would be SO great. VIPS get cached by arp, the traffic flows to the firewall. I have my provider delegate rev-dns to my firewall wan ip and rev-dns responses could be easily served. Doesnt need to be a fancy full implementation of bind, but even the most rudimentary functionality would be a huge time saver for me.
my 2 cents.

my vote is cs source server.

If you want lean and mean, no problem, just install the bare bone pfSense.
But I'd say if the pfSesne community wants to create a package to use pfSense as a print server or whatever let them do it. if you dont want it on your box simple don't install it. Let the users decide what they want to do with their firewall, I'm sure the core dev team wont put time into creating half these packages, If the community wants to dev packages let them go ahead include the packages as they see fit and leave the decision in the hands of the user. thats just my 2 cents. -

That's exactly our idea and rationale up to this point. It's you're box, you can do what you want. It may not always be a good idea to do so, but you have that choice.

How about iptraf?
IPTraf is a pretty useful realtime network monitoring package

May be if don't miss some thing and understand the main idea of project
1. ng_netflow and some web_iface for it.
2. flow-tools ( here i would like to tell some words about why: on radioethernet it will be usefull to collect data localy and send to some server by cron)
3. tcshrc from /usr/ports/shells/tcshrc/. I understand that main idea of project is to make little and easy web based router/firewall but if something wrong i as always first try to see whats going on by ssh not by web_iface
4. syslog_ng or some thing to move logs from router to another server
seems to be all -

Check the consolemenu or ssh in. Try the pftop option. It's similiar to this.

And ntop does a good job of providing trend information as well.
