      Hi everyone!

      For me, the login beep on 2.3.1 is missing. I've checked the logs, the login event seems to be logged properly.

      pfsense php-fpm[54779]: /index.php: Successful login for user '****' from: ****

      /usr/local/bin/beep also works properly.

      Any hints why the beep wouldn't work any more?

      Cheers
        Steffen

        The login beep is not done with a call to the beep command, but a byproduct of that login log message being printed to the console.

        Did you password protect the console, perhaps? I don't think that would suppress the message but it's the only thing I can think of that might be even remotely relevant.

        Beep still works fine at login on the two boxes I have here which still have a speaker.

          Good find! I indeed password protected my console, so this might be the reason for not having the login beep.

            [off] Well, this all this Ardruino stuff now, you can make some SNMP TRAP REMOTE BEEPING DEVICE for your convenience. [/off]

              I had the same problem.  Deselecting Password protect the console menu in System → Advanced → Admin Access → Console Options resolved it for me on pfSense 2.3.4.
