It's probably what's really happening unfortunately. Wait until the next update, the new shaper wizard (and some accompanying backend code) will be in there.

As long as it's well behaved TCP ;-P Shaping on both ends of a circuit are optimal, much better than letting the traffic fall flat on it's face when it tries to cross the circuit and can't ;) But that's obviously where you lose bandwidth, if you shape on just one side you need to artificially make TCP think your link speed is less than it really is so you can handle bursts and other traffic. > > I didn't see the first question, but tcpdump works just fine on > > pfSense (we use it for pulling the logs off pflog0).

Maybe I shouldn't ask...you add a different user, or were you logging in as admin, not root (which I thought were both the same UID, but something could certainly be broke there). --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
