[pfSense Support] FAQ item request: Do I need to know how to use a shell to use PFSense?

2010-12-20 Thread David Burgess
I'm annoyed by the recurrence of posts like this:

I see the Linux myth is debunked in the FAQ, but is there something
substantial that I can link to that states or demonstrates that
pfsense is adequately administered from the UI for most non-dev users?

I have blocked myself out and the only way was to console in and use shell
to do pfctl -d to turn off firewallSHELL for pfSense is not scary but
it is a MUST to know when you need that quick access. However, I don't think
of anything that would require you to know any shell commands to get pfSense
running with the new images the router comes pre-setup with the LAN ports
assigned 192.168.1.0/24.
