23.7 Legacy Series / [solved] Need to restore config.xml ... root is disabled

« on: February 14, 2024, 01:47:09 am »

I've recently updated a couple of interface IPs and now I cannot get into the UI.  I have a console connection with an admin user, however root is disabled and my user is not in sudoers.  As such, I cannot copy a /conf/backup/config_file to /conf/config.xml.  I've tried editing the current config.xml file, however it is read only and I cannot chmod the file.  Also, I cannot run the opnsense-shell (to perform a scripted recovery?) (must be root user).

Most of the help from forums indicate doing one of the above items... given my limited experience here and that I cannot sudo or login as root, I feel like my hands are tied. 

Is there anything else that I can? I've thought of reinstalling OPNsense, then recovering one of the backups, however I came here for help first.
I appreciate whatever help that you can lend...thanks.

23.1 Legacy Series / firewall -> log files

« on: May 13, 2023, 02:05:00 am »

When I look in the documentation https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/logging_firewall.html , I only see Live View and Plain View under Firewall menu item.  However, my system (23.1.7_3) also has General and Overview. While Live View, Overview, and Plain View are all populating and appear to be working, General is empty.

Should this be the case?
I appreciate any help you can lend.
Thanks.
