It was from USB during boot, not the first boot either.

Ok so you installed it normally first, then put the config on a stick for it to be detected during boot?

That does sound like its the ECL then.

I have fed this back into the bug report and will assume they going to adjust the timeout.  The one they found is 30 seconds long.

[Ronski]

Yes, that's correct.

It could be 30 seconds long, you have tons of text going up the screen, so by the time you notice it's asking you to enter the password some time has elapsed (I was on another computer), then the password was not straight forward.

[Chrysalis]

Yeah its deffo too short, especially if a complex password, there is no copy and pasting on there so typing it out.

[Chrysalis]

Well they only boosting it to 60 seconds which seems underwhelming, I guess for some reason they hesitant to change it too much or even to remove it. 

How are things now?

Oh good, my N5105 seems to have suddenly developed coil whine.

It's odd, I said to some one about a week before mine packed up that it was six years old, he's said that's doing well, then it died

So is options, 128 gig nvme and 8 gig ram is already huge overkill for pfsense though.  But I guess overspeccing is useful if ever repurposed.

Especially as these units are powerful enough to virtualise, though I prefer to stick to bare metal.
