I have the normal list of links, but here’s a feature. At first glance, this looks like Netgate, the commercial entity behind pfsense, is not using FreeBSD for their new product. However, Jim Thompson of Netgate steps up and give a full-on explanation, and points out there’s already code out there to do this – it needs contributors.
- Where did devio.us go?
- Do Not Use sha256crypt / sha512crypt – They’re Dangerous. As the source link comments point out, FreeBSD’s implementation may be similar. I haven’t looked at other BSDs, and I’m not qualified to evaluate how dangerous this is or is not. (via)

Why did pfsense which to Linux?
pfSense did not switch to Linux. Netgate, the company behind it, is bringing out a separate product using CentOS. The linked mailing list message shows that they want to keep using BSD – but it requires code support that isn’t written — yet.
If you meant for there to be two links in the smtpd.conf thing, there are, but they have the same url. Interested because I run opensmtpd.
The links for a smtp.conf separated because of the way the font styling was applied.
