Unless you are on an embedded platform, pkg_add is available to you. pkg_add -r bashwill install bash from your local friendly FreeBSD package mirror. --Bill - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [pfSense Support] After bootup changes
Hi. Can't answer about the root-shell but with the rc.conf you should use /usr/local/etc/rc.conf for normal behaviour as you expect from /etc/rc.conf . I think that the PfSense specific confs are done in /etc/rc.conf and the other stuff is done by /usr/local/etc/rc.conf . Confusing? Yup. :) Best regards Alexander Norman - OpenBGPd for pfsense fan :) Xh.se [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: After bootup I would not like to show the pfsense menu.

[pfSense Support] After bootup changes
After bootup I would not like to show the pfsense menu. This is a security risk for me as pressing 8 will give a root shell. I would instead like to just show a login prompt as with any normal Freebsd machine. Also, why won't my chpass changes maintain after reboot? I would like to use bash as my shell, however it will always default to /bin/sh on reboot. One more thing, does the pfsense distro still recognize /etc/rc.conf? I tried installing powerdns, however the rc.d script will not run? Thanks for the help, Nate Steffan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
