      hi guys

      a bug:

      if you change the password of the admin user, via webgui. passwort is changed for http/https login. and this passwort also works for root access via ssh. but is still possible to connect as admin / pfsense with ssh.

      passwd admin

      Changing local password for admin
      New Password:
      Retype New Password:
      passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module
