[pfSense Support] permissions on config.xml

2006-03-17 Thread LJ Rand
New user so bear with me. I've installed on 2 boxes, gotten pfsync/carp working with VLANs and all, thanks for this great piece of work. However, I am wondering why the permissions on config.xml file are so open (world-read, and the backup/config*xml files are world-writable!). Given that

[pfSense Support] plain text paswords in config.xml

2006-03-29 Thread LJ Rand
I have updated to RELENG_1_SNAPSHOT_03. I am concerned about having plain text passwords in the config.xml file, especially the one used by pfsync to get to the webgui interface of the second pfsense box. What extra precautions can be taken to avoid this, or to at least mitigate the risk? JR

I have 2 pfsense firewalls (both running 1.0-SNAPSHOT-09-14-06) CARP'ed together and supporting several VLANs. They also provide DHCP service, and I specify the failover peer IP of the other pfsense firewall in order to keep the DHCP leases in sync. (Minor issue: why is the box for this item a

[pfSense Support] update to dhcp package

2007-01-17 Thread LJ Rand
I am running into problems with my failover dhcp peer configuration: peer holds all free leases appears in the logs as several clients can't get a dhcp lease, even when there is lots of room in the dynamic pool. The package that comes with pfsense 1.0.1 is still version 3.0.4. I am hoping
