      Hi,

      I want to create a linux user called "jump", which uses the "ssh_tunnel_shell" for default shell to use pfSense as SSH Jumphost to access the LXCs behind.
      I created the user with shell command "adduser", works fine, but after reboot the user will be deleted.

      If I create a user with the pfSense webinterface and change the default shell to "ssh_tunnel_shell" it also will be reset on reboot.

      Is there a possability to create a jumphost user?

        Make the user under System > User Manager, save, then edit the user and give them the "User - System: SSH Tunneling" privilege and nothing else.
