Could you just grab the /tmp/rules.debug file?

I am curious if it is possible to "merge"-for want of a better word- pfSense with a FreeBSD install. Why? Well, I have a client who wants to integrate everything into 1 box if possible. I told him its not possible, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't check to see if I am wrong.

Basically, the box needs to be a firewall and SMB server. I like pfSense's webGUI (I would hate to have to write all the pf.conf rules by hand) and all the easy controls it provides for me. (The more I type this email, the less likely it seems that this is possible) So I would like to try to combine the two, if possible. Yes, I am aware of the security and stability implications of this. ("Why is the SMB transfer so slow?" Well, little Timmy is using bittorrent right now... or "The internet is down? I can't transfer files?!" The box crashed...)

Hey! This gave me an idea for a feature (probably after 1.0) how about the ability to export the filter rules as pf.conf file that could be put on another system? Certainly problems would arise if the two systems aren't identically configured, but that's what a big warning on the webGUI page is for ;)

Anyways, sorry for the long post. I think I am coming down with some illness, and my mind is in another state. Apologies.
Anthony
