      No longer works in 24.03_1, this command "echo /etc/rc.initial >> ~/.tcshrc.local" had worked perfectly on 23.09.1

      Should I run another command?

      and every time I connect to SSH I get this message:
      82b48d67-43e1-406c-936f-7f1c6bf28a98-image.png

      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...

        You mean in order to show the console menu for a non-admin user?

          Yes ... let's say I'm also an adminnistrator

          I only have one user (me) and I'm the administrator. Your command worked perfectly the other day and now I don't have the menu and the command doesn't work anymore

            Ah that's interesting. I assume you have changed the admin password from the default?

            And you see that after having run that command?

              My "user" and "password" are the same as the original ones, with the addition of "before" and "after" letters and numbers.

              EDIT

              I confirm, I created another user with no letters like the original user and the original password and I no longer have the message shown here.

              My problem is therefore with the name of my "administrator" user and its "password".

              I'll have to change all that, sorry for my messages ...

                Putty.
                It's a the best SSH client (IMHO of course). Some extra tools come with it.

                Maybe if you don't have access to securecrt, which is not free. Use to be a big putty guy, and it is pretty solid.. But when your on shell to remote devices all day.. securecrt is really nice.

                I haven't played with windows "native if you will" ssh client - it was always behind from when first started playing with it. I do like options, so I always install the openssh client from here.

                They are normally pretty current on the version.

                  Yeah it's an edge case triggering the enforced password change. I see that here. Digging....

                    I've created a user and password that have nothing to do with the original ones -> OK, I can connect via SSH without any problems or error messages.

                    Once connected, if I run the command "echo /etc/rc.initial >> ~/.tcshrc.local" -> OK

                    I reconnect and get this error message again:

                    I think I may have found a "bug" !?
