Hi Carl,

Yes, I've been able to access https://127.0.0.1:1443 using the Lynx browser on 
the machine running Pf. However, it seems like I cannot login - I can enter the 
username and password, but when I attempt to login I just end up on the login 
page once again, with no error on the website explaining what went wrong. Also, 
ever since I setup Pf I am unable to connect to SSH for whatever reason, I can 
still ping the eth0 interface but connecting to it fails.
I think the main issue is that it seems like Pf does not apply configuration 
changes properly. I checked some of the files in /usr/local/pf/conf and all 
seems to be configured properly, but it looks like Pf makes no modifications to 
dhcpd or the network interfaces. In fact, when I do
/etc/init.d/packetfence restart
most services start up, but I get a warning stating that no listener interfaces 
for DHCPD are defined. Also, ifconfig -a shows that none of the interfaces are 
configured, except eth0 which was setup automatically during the Debian 
installation...

Is webconfig the interface that comes up when you access 
https://ip:3000/configurator?
If so then yes, that's what I used. What do I need to do so I can start out 
fresh? I doubt that aptitude purge packetfence and then reinstalling it will 
undo all of Packetfence's changes to the system, though I will try.

Yep, like I said I already looked at those, and really all looks just fine in 
those files. The only problem here really seems to be that Pf doesn't seem to 
apply these settings to the system properly, for whatever reason...
> Thanks a lot for your help and advice!
