pfSense

Thanks! Sorry, but a dumb question ... how to know when this will show up in an "official" build (to install, and confirm it's all working as expected)?

Thanks again.

It will be in the next 2.5.0 snapshot that includes it, so as soon as the build happens, likely later today.

Sounds great, thanks! And appreciate all the help!

Hi,

2.5.0 got updated today (or late yesterday) ... :-). So I installed, and it works - thanks! Just one minor thing (below) ... not sure if it matters or not, but just so you know about it (and also not sure how fussy / particular you are about it ... LOL).

In /var/etc/syslog.d/pfSense.conf, if I look at most "sections", they appear like this (example one here),

!ntp,ntpd,ntpdate
*.*                                                             /var/log/ntpd.log
*.*                                                             @remote-server

But, the updated "section" looks like this,

!*
auth.*;authpriv.*                                               /var/log/auth.log
auth.*;authpriv.*                                               @remote-server

Would you rather it be like this, so it matches all the others?

!auth,authpriv
*.*                                                             /var/log/auth.log
*.*                                                             @remote-server

It doesn't matter to me, just wanted to feed this back to you - so you can make the call.

Thanks again!

auth and authpriv are facilities, not process names, so that would not work. It's correct as it is. That section isn't like the others. The others want all log messages (facilities and levels) from specific processes. These want specific types of messages from all processes.

Makes complete sense, thanks for clarifying. And appreciate all the help!
