Try turning on tcp-keepalive in your ssh client this fixes it for putty f.ex. Espen F.

My pfSense box is connected to the same switch as my workstation PC so I am lost as to what causes these timeouts. BTW, I think it's just with this 2.0.3 box i am seeing the timeouts. If you have state killing actived and/or connecting to the external address of the pfsense box this could cause it. If you have nat reflection enabled and/or a nat forward you are connecting through (interface set to any) could cause this too. Cheers, Seth On 26 April 2013 11:32, Espen F.

[pfSense] Shell Logout time
Whenever I am logged into my pfSense box via SSH, I always get logged out within some time, even when I am running something. Where can I change that timeout value? I am tempted to ask (due to ignorance) why there is no perl package for pfSense. I'd love to have that so that I can install my modules on top. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

Where can I change that timeout value? I have pfSense SSH windows open at the moment which have been active for several days, so I suspect it's not pfSense that's logging out, but perhaps a connection going down/up from time to time? I am tempted to ask (due to ignorance) why there is no perl package for pfSense. I'd love to have that so that I can install my modules on top. Remember pfSense is a firewall/router, not an 'all-in-one' server appliance. Generally, non-firewall/router things are better done on other devices. It's also worth remembering that pfSense often runs on small, embedded platforms which often have significant constraints on both RAM and available disk storage. I've always been very impressed that the pfSense team has managed to avoid the temptation of feature creep in this area, and long may it continue :-) Kind regards, Chris -- This email is made from 100% recycled electrons ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

Some packages like squid will bring it in. You can always pkg_add -r perl, or use a full URL to a specific version on FreeBSD's servers or ours, from http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/ or http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/ Careful doing that on NanoBSD though, some large packages can be problematic there.
