Passwords
-
Hi Folks
Just a quick questions regarding passwords on pfsense. I presume these are stored in /etc/master.passwd being a freebsd based system but was wondering about the purpose of the hashes that are stored in the /cf/conf/config.xml file.
Thanks in advance - its much appreicated

Everything is stored in the config.xml file. At boot time scripts generate the expected configuration files from it. This means that if edit a file manually it will be overwritten at the next boot.

That makes sense - thanks steve.
I don't suppose you know what the purpose of the MD5-HASH and NT-HASH are out of interest in addition to the password hash which is replicated in /etc/master.passwd.
Thanks again for your help

I haven't managed to break anything password related yet hence I've not had to look into it! ::)
