RE: [pfSense Support] Crash Disk problems
I don't use a UPS on my two firewalls and I they are in a pretty hostile environment, they have been running for more than a year now with no disk failure. My theory is that since they boot up quicker than any other device there is no need to have them on a UPS, since none of the other equipment is on a UPS what would be the point? Like Holger I just power on and off at the wall since its to much trouble to login and reboot. i.e. what I am saying is: its robust enough for me and probably 99% of people. In a commercial environment you would probably add a UPS if the client PCs and Network Switches have backup power. Somewhere on the m0n0 website they suggest using flash memory cards with IDE adapters if robustness is required. In general mechanical ( Power Supplies WITH FANS and HDD's ) are the highest failure items in PC's. MTBF's of around 2-10 hours are what they are designed for. Other PC (IC's processors etc) stuff usually has a MTBFs in the millions of hours .i.e. if you want to build a robust (industrial/mil spec grade ) platforms don't use normal PC powersupplies and HDDs. An Embedded platform with a good 12V DC Transformer with Flash memory would give you a platform that should not fail for many many years.

[pfSense Support] ip addresses from radius.
Have tested this any which way but. Please enable it then check /var/etc/mpd/mpd.conf it does not use 0.0.0.0/0 as the ip of the link or add any of the attributes. The same was when the option is unticked.

Basically I have removed some hard coded colours from php files to all.css and changed the colours in Rounded function to match the theme. Pl use the Orange theme and apply the diff, that will show the changes. There are some more php files that needs the be change, but you will get the general drift of the stuff. raj - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[pfSense Support] Weird problem
Hi all I have quite a problem. I have a pfSense with 6 nic's and the networks on 4 of them work fine. 2 of them are wan connections, but the third lan interface wont "let me out" trough the wan's. I'm running 1.0 beta. Of course i checked the regular things, such as that the interface has a pass-rule and so on. Another problem is that from the LAN's i can't use FTP. I tried to disable the userland ftp proxy application but with no result. I hope someone knows some tricks that I can try.
