pfSense » pfSense Packages

I am using pfsense 2.0-BETA1 built on Fri Apr 16 15:35:27 EDT 2010 FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE. I downloaded and installed "Frickin PPTP proxy 2.0". I would constantly get an error in the system log that required files were missing. While I do not have an exactly solution to the problem, I was able to get it to install (but not work yet) and load up the rules (the rules would never go in properly before this hack) by changing /etc/inc/util.inc and removing the -x from pgrep in function is_process_running().

Clearly this is a terrible solution and in fact is quite incomplete (e.g. when you save binding interface in the UI it does not kill the running frickin2 properly and you end up with 2 frickin2's running), but I believe that the root cause is that the binary is named frickin2 and the package is named frickin and this causes no end of grief with various assumptions in the package installer.
