I noticed that if I just hit enter on the pfSense console without typing an
option first, it exits the console.  If I am on ssh, it closes the
connection and if I am on the local terminal, where I have it set to prompt
for a password, it asks the password again.

Since option 0 can be used to do the same thing and there are times that I
would like to refresh the console (to re-display the connection status at
the top), I am wondering why it is set up to exit if no input is given?
One of my development boxes gets a new IP address regularly and I like to
refresh the console to see when the address has been successfully acquired.
 The way it is now, I have to log in again and again or go into another
option, such as the shell, and then out of it again.

I know where to modify this myself in /etc/rc.initial but before I do so, I
am curious as to the reason it works this way.
