@stephenw10 I understand the conflict.
If Netgate contributes to the open-source project, maybe this is an effort where it can contribute, namely, end-user comprehensible error messages.
If that's "too hard" then solve it with documentation: initiate an error messages and codes section of the user manual which lists the error messages, then what it means and directions to take for recovery.
As it is, customers are left thrashing around with support, or this forum, often at Negate's direct or indirect, uncompensated, expense.
For instance, DEC had the OpenVMS error messages and codes manual, which was helpful to the customers.
It seems to me we've regressed since then where error messages appear to have been made up on the spot by the developers and are substantially meaningful on their face mostly to developers.
Customers support the business. Making their life harder makes the business' life harder. Is that what business leadership wants?
