      Is there a reason why the "COMM" command is not included in the pfSense /USR/BIN folder?

      Is there any way to download that file from a secure source?

        The reason probably would be - WTH is comm? You could pkg_add coreutils, I'd just forget it personally, there's standard diff available for comparing files.

          Reasoning is the same as any other "missing" item, we remove things that aren't needed and/or to save space. We don't have a need for that utility and nobody has required it before, so it's not included.

          You can copy the utility from any other FreeBSD installation that is of the same version as pfSense you're using.
