After bootup I would not like to show the pfsense menu. This is a security

just show a login prompt as with any normal Freebsd machine.
System -> Advanced -> Disable console menu
Also, why
won't my chpass changes maintain after reboot? I would like to use bash as
my shell, however it will always default to /bin/sh on reboot. One more
thing, does the pfsense distro still recognize /etc/rc.conf? I tried
installing powerdns, however the rc.d script will not run?
You should use the webConfigurator password function to maintain the
root and admin accounts.

I tried disabling the console menu as stated, however it still is not
disabled. This is very important to me as I will be using this box as a
frontend that a number of people will be logging into and not having
access to the root account is very important. I looked at the php code
as I am a php developer myself, and I see that
/var/etc/disableconsolemenu is created, however the console is still
showing up. Bug possibly?
Also were do I maintain the root account. I dont see anywhere to change
the shell or password. Is there some config file I need to edit?
The admin id == the root account. Displaying a login prompt will only
stop non-authorized people from gaining access, not authorized admins
from gaining root. We do have a user manager in HEAD that will do
what you wish, but that won't make it into 1.0.
Aside from that - I was just able to duplicate the console menu not
being disabled issue. Looks like you found a bug, can you plse file
a ticket on it at http://cvstrac.pfsense.org/ ? Thanks

Ok that is understandable about the root account and a ticket has been
created in the cvstrac for the console bug. Now is there a way to make
persistant changes for the shell. Sorry, but I have grown accustomed to
bash. When I say persistent, I am asking how to make it so it lasts
longer than a reboot.
