Hi, I am working on the remote nodes of a network monitoring project, and looking into some of the highly self-contained systems out there such as m0n0wall, pfSense, and a few generic "here's how to highly embed FreeBSD" project pages.
I'm just now digging into pfSense, because of its package system, and please forgive me for speaking before digging into the code, but I'd like to feel out the possibility of whether or not pfSense will accommodate my applications before blowing too much time shoehorning them into the system. I'd like to build packages for SmokePing, NetDisco, AMP and ourmon -- http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ http://netdisco.org/ http://amp.nlanr.net/ http://ourmon.sourceforge.net/ Since I'm on a 128MB flash drive, I'm curious if there's been any work on write-leveling, or if most people find that it's not an issue, or... ??? For sure I'll need to transfer data back to some master server for long term storage; I assume that will be a simple cron job (uh, is there cron?) Also, are there any projects that you might be looking for someone to dig into? I'm putting together a Summer of Code application regarding the network monitoring tools above, and if there's something I can work on along the way, I'm all ears! Thanks, Aaron
