One of my pfSense boxes with 1.2RC2 on soekris net4801 went belly up. Below a dump from console. Any ideas?
this happened to me once. i was still able to login to the http interface, so was able to recover. the recovery is painful, but possible. First, go to the command execute screen. run "cat /etc/ master.passwd". If you get back a nice looking password file you're good. If not, you need to extract one from the pfsense distribution (use the source browser on the pfsense Trac site) and use the edit file feature to replace the corrupted one. Once you have the master.passwd file in place, go back to execute command screen and run the following: pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd 2>&1 (The default excecute command doesn't redirect stderr back to you, so you must do it manually.) If there are errors, try to correct them. If there is no error reported back, then you should be good to go. Try rebooting and see what happens. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
