I don't know how to program, nor do I know PHP (I could probably learn it). That's a bit of a roadblock.
And implementing all the SaMBa features that I would need with a nice webGUI would take me months of PHP. (Unless I just made one big writeable space and the user would have to know what they're doing and do it all by hand, but that is less elegant) And the final nail in that ideas coffin (it is a good idea though) is that I lack a sufficient platform to develop and test with. My client's network is not a good place to do it. And my home network uses the liveCD because I lack a crappy harddrive to install to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 12:18 PM Subject: Re: [pfSense-discussion] pfSense merge with freebsd? > DarkFoon wrote: > > > I am curious if it is possible to "merge"-for want of a better > > word-pfSense with a FreeBSD install.
