I am new comer here. I just installed pfSense. I failed to log in it by SSH. Please let me know how I can fix it?
On the shell, I saw "/root: " I tried command sudo. got error message like the command sudo can't find. How can I fix it?

Thanks,

@georgeyu100 You've kind of posted in the wrong place. But i'm sure the mods will move it.

SSH is disabled by default, you can turn it on under System -> Advanced in the WebUI or from the terminal menu (I think).

There's no sudo on the box.

@georgeyu100
If you go into the shell you have usually root privileges, but there is no sudo on pfSense by default.
You may install the sudo package if you really need it, but I don't think so.
