System Admins... It could save a phone call in the middle of the night. Since they have been using pfSense for a while, I can hear the complaining already. "What do you mean I can't just switch to it?"
Although I agree that terminal access has been pretty standard over the many years, IMHO it can be more painful at time than just doing a KVM switch when you are in a datacenter. Rather than having another machine to access it. Easy access to BIOS info, etc... Today's hardware is so cheap, it's just another convenience that's nice to have. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan Reed [mailto:morgan.s.r...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 12:41 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Intel Atom Motherboards or Similar Systems On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 4:01 PM, Chuck Mariotti <cmario...@xunity.com> wrote: > To be honest, I hate the idea of having to use a terminal to set it up, not > because I can't, just because I'd have to teach the other admins how to do it > in case of an emergency.

That's how (IME) the majority of (non-consumer) network hardware gets (at least initially) configured, or are these guys systems admins rather than network techs? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
