For the password part, I used the command "passwd" to change the root password independently from the GUI configurator password successfully, However, when I reboot my pfsense machine, the root password will be turned back to as same as the GUI Configurator password, so how can I fix the password changing?

SFTP is SSH. I'm using also SSH and SFTP ... I think you have to authorise traffic for SSH (TCP port 22) in your WAN. 4. pfSense is FreeBSD 6.x based. Please, see man page for passwd command: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi? query=passwd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html Regards, Josep Pujadas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.
