    Hi all!

    This is super minor but slightly annoying - after I upgraded to 2.3.3, when I log into the firewall via SSH and enable shell mode (option 8), logging into other boxes requires me to type in the whole domain - i.e. ssh root@box.domain as opposed to root@box

    Any ideas how to go back to just doing root@box without needing the domain?

    Thanks!

      Make sure the firewall domain name matches the domain name you're trying to lookup.

      Basically you need to make the "search" line in /etc/resolv.conf match the domain you're after. There are a few ways that gets set but more or less it's: If you have "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" set on System > General it takes your domain from DHCP/PPPoE. Otherwise it uses the domain set on System > General.

        Thanks!

        I edited the searchline to match my domain; I do have DNS override enabled because of Comcast's randomly blocking google DNS on my end…

          What would access to googledns have to do with access a local box??  Your not accessing pfsense via the public side IP from your lan side are you?

              For what possible reason?

              So your on the LAN but your hitting your public IP to access the web gui?  Makes zero sense to me..
