Pftop not available with replaced Admin account via ssh
-
Hi, I initiated a new admin account (with gui & ssh permissions) and installed then configured the sudo package but when I use pftop (9) option from ssh the message is
'pftop: open("/dev/pf"): Permission denied'
Trivial issue yes.
Other non critical options work such as ping host & shell.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks -
@applesalwaysred admin is root level, other accounts are not, just higher level within pfSense.
