      i am running pfsense 2.5 and have created a new user named proxy with admin membership. However when i ssh into my firewall with that proxy user , there is no menu. Is this expected behavior or am i missing something.

      Pls help me getting around this problem.

        yes, it is expected, you can call the menu with /etc/rc.initial

          @kiokoman Great, but can i make this autorun when ssh connection is established? I want it to be able to autorun with admin members only.

            add /etc/rc.initial to the end of /home/proxy/.tcshrc

              @kiokoman WoW , Thankyou, Worked like a charm!!!
              So that implies if i want to run custom scripts at startup, then /home/proxy/.tcshrc is the way to go.

                  echo /etc/rc.initial >> ~/.tcshrc.local

                  I started with two "no-name" pfsense, one for use at home and the other as a backup in case of problems (which can happen when you're new to pfsense).
                  ... And now I'm living with a Netgate 8200
                  ... And sorry for my bad English...
