Generic software installation

[alphis]

Hey all. How can I compile arbitrary applications for pfsense. I find myself wanting things like ettercap, netcat, socat, etc. But I see no packages for them and I'm used to linux and a full development environment.

I'm not trying to install a window manager or anything crazy, just some command line tools that I'd like to use.

Any ideas?

Unsupported –> you're on your own.

pfSense is FreeBSD and not Linux.

You might want to install the developer version, since it's kind of a standard FreeBSD6.2 with pfSense on top.
