I uninstalled the squid package about three months ago, unable to get it to function properly. I will try it again when pfsense 2.0 is stable, and probably pick up the book as well. I wish I could be more helpful than that. db - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
Re: [pfSense Support] Microsoft updates through pfSense
The proper way to handle that many clients is to run a WSUS update server (or its new replacement, System Center).

Dear Mike McLaughlin, But WSUS requires a domain controller for the perfect functioning, i also tried this without domain controller but its not working well On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 9:25 AM, Mike McLaughlin obr...@gmail.com wrote: The proper way to handle that many clients is to run a WSUS update server (or its new replacement, System Center).

Re: [pfSense Support] Microsoft updates through pfSense
Ah, sorry. I don't have a great recommendation for you then. I've not used a WSUS server without a domain. You can tune squid to cache larger files, but I too am not extremely fond of Squid. I always have random issues with this and that running it (mainly custom web apps, java, etc).

WSUS has no need or use for a domain controller, except to configure the machines. You can build a .reg file and import it however you normally manage your machines. Once you're configured client-side there isn't much else you need to do, the rest is done server-side. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
[pfSense Support] Blocking a MAC id through squid
Dear all, is there any way to block a MAC id using squid in pfSense. -- Thanks Regards Shali K R Server Administrator Vidya Academy of Science Technology Thrissur,Kerala. Mob:9846303531

I don't know the answer but I doubt this would be useful, since every router rewrites the source MAC. So, unless you're trying to block some host on your local subnet, the host's MAC gets rewritten by every router between it and your pfSense box. dn -- Thanks Regards Shali K R Server Administrator Vidya Academy of Science Technology Thrissur,Kerala.
