        Ah, so upgrades appear to work because the file exists. I was busily trying to work out how that file was being populated by ping-auth when it doesn't exist!

        Ok so if it exists it will show there but the utility is deprecated and the ID itself is unused in 23.09. So it should be removed.

            Which is contrary to JonathanLee's belief/understanding - that this is used in OpenVPN or compex wifi card.

            I'm going by your previous statement that "later" hardware doesn't even have it, that it was not needed.

            Yes I tracked it down, and discovered that the file with ID exists, and if that did not there would be an error because ping-auth does not exist on my system.

            Yes, the dashboard should likely stop looking for it and anything else that might call system_get_thothid is also likely suspect where the file does not exist and needs to be recreated. In my case nothing I am aware of uses it, so as long as the file exists it can display or not..

            The code will catch up when it does.

              ping-auth -s is not included in 23.09.1 so the folder is no longer pre populated

              https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15103

              This is now confirmed as the cause of cryptID no longer working in 23.09.01 on fresh firmware

                Now I will start looking into the layer 2 broadcast domain issues on 23.09.01

                      It is not. The current 2100s do not include it.

                        neither is the Caesar cipher or Hebren rotor machine.

                            it's about 1,191 lines of code,
