      I have created a separate user in pfSense 2.0.1 to give to the few other individuals in my company that may need to ssh to pfSense on occasion.  I can log in via shh fine but it just takes me directly to the shell.  Is there a way I can have it just pull up the menu like it does when I log in as admin?  If not, is there a command I can run at the shell to pull up that menu?  I added the user to the admin group but that had no effect.

        Not effectively. The menu only works when run as root/admin and there isn't a way to grant that privilege to other users built-in yet.

        We've been considering including sudo to allow users to run things like the menu as root, but it hasn't been completed yet.

          Thanks jimp.  Knowing for sure that it is not possible, I can come up with a workaround for my needs.  Just wanted to make sure that I was not just missing something.
