Re: [pfSense-discussion] noob question
There is no logout (AFAIK) You can't install plain old 3rd party apps, you have you install a pfSense package. Only some software is available as pfSense packages, and many of them are beta or alpha. But you can make your own packages, something I haven't personally tried yet. To browse the packages available, log in and go to System - Packages. To install the package you want, click the + button to the right of the package listing. I hope that helps. - Original Message - From: Zied Fakhfakh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: discussion@pfsense.com Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 3:33 PM Subject: [pfSense-discussion] noob question Hello everybody, I'm just starting with pfSense, nd I have a couple of questions - is there any logout button from the web interface ? - how canI install third party softwares, like squid, on pfSense thank you very much. -- Zied Fakhfakh dot TN - CTO Centre Molka, Esc E, Bur 17 | Tel : +216 71 886112 El Manar II | Fax : +216 71 885499 2092 - Tunis | mob : +216 22 535604 Tunisia | web : http://www.dottn.com GPG Key : gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D2F4EE8C

I guess somebody might like to rewrite it to use cookies and thus have a logout function if they really cared? - how canI install third party softwares, like squid, on pfSense it's freebsd based so you can use 'ports'. I installed munin from ports and it works pretty well.
