At the very least upgrade to 1.2 release, if not to 1.2.2.  You'll get no meaningful help for a beta or release candidate.

Restore to factory defaults, run the initial configuration wizard.  The system handles initial setup for you.

Download a file with name like pfSense-1.2.3-20090129-0009.iso.gz, unzip it with winzip (or the like) to a file with a name like pfSense-1.2.3-20090129-0009.iso and use your CD burning program (Nero or the like) to burn a CD from this ISO image.

It might help to see exactly what command line you are using for scp and the error that results. Or try it exactly how I did in my prior post. I'm not doubting your ability to use the commands, I just think that some extra clarification and information will help. It works fine for me with via fish as well: fish://root@192.168.1.1/etc/inc/ Pulls up a list of files in /etc/inc, though I had to wait a few seconds for it to prompt me about accepting the key and then a few more seconds to enter the password.

Problem solved by applying patch from GIT. If someone need this patch to, I can send patched file by e-mail. TNX to cmb and perry for help. Sasa

Glad it helped  :) From /etc/passwd: root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/sh admin:*:0:0:Admin User:/root:/etc/rc.initial Root's shell is /bin/sh and has a .profile that calls /etc/rc.initial, but things like scp can still bypass .profile and execute another command. Admin's shell is /etc/rc.initial directly, so it is locked into running that on each login.

You may be able to get some pointers from my setup - Obviously I have a procurve switch and not a Cisco but the principles are the same, http://www.cheesyboofs.co.uk/home.htm [image: procurve.jpg] [image: procurve.jpg_thumb]
