      Hello folks!

      How do I change the login promt to show more than "."?

      In IE 8 it tells me: The Server 10.0.0.1 at . requires a username and password.
      In FF 4 it tells me: User and password is requested from http://10.0.0.1. Place tells ".".

      The FF 4 is a raw translate because I´m from Sweden ^^, so I didn´t catch the correct message from pfSense.

      Under my general setup:
      Hostname: Here I have typed in a name I want to use.
      Domain: Here I have typed in a domain I owned and that I´m using to access my box.

      Cheers
      Kirill

        Edit /etc/inc/auth.inc and change this line:

                header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\".\"");
        

        Though of course that won't survive a firmware update. On 2.0 the auth system is completely different so this isn't relevant there.
