      Hi

      Does anybody what is all the time logging into my pfsense as root? It's not myself, can't be! - is this common? A process that is generating these entries? It' is almost every hour…

        It's the shellmenu on the local console which logs in automatically. The idletimeout will logout the user but it logs in automatically again then. It's normal. Nothing to worry about.
