[Solved] Displaying console menu in ssh connection for non-root admins

[Scuro]

Your profile script looks a little different from mine. I am wondering if there is a syntax error.
When you login, what happens if you type sh .profile

My .profile script looks like this:

Code Select Expand

# $FreeBSD$
#
HOME=/root
export HOME
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin
export PATH
TERM=${TERM:-xterm}
export TERM
PAGER=less
export PAGER

# set ENV to a file invoked each time sh is started for interactive use.
ENV=$HOME/.shrc; export ENV

# Query terminal size; useful for serial lines.
if [ -x /usr/bin/resizewin ] ; then /usr/bin/resizewin -z ; fi

# Uncomment to display a random cookie on each login.
# if [ -x /usr/bin/fortune ] ; then /usr/bin/fortune -s ; fi
sudo opnsense-shell

Which shell is configured for the user? The "%" prompt might mean it's csh - which does not read .profile.

Looking at System: Access: Users the Login shell is on /bin/csh

Other options are:
/sbin/nologin
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh

So, I changed Login shell to /bin/sh and it works now, many thanks @pmhausen
