Bye bye

Why admin left the building i don't know, but your can use root as username

what's default password for user root? (I've tried "pfsense" without success)

Hi

SSH will not allow "root" login by default.

First login as admin then create /home, and /home/admin respectively by hand, then copy several .(dot) scripts from ~root, to just created /home/admin. Logout, then login(SSH) again to the box then gives you initial menu.

Cheers,

Ok, now all works ok. Thank you.

How can I warn developers?
