I noticed this while comparing alias popup behavior between 2.2.5-DEVELOPMENT and 2.3
Might as well fix the grammar here for 2.2.5
This tip does not exist in 2.3 because the popup works more nicely there and so this text is not needed.
Therefore this change does not need to be ported forward to master.
fixing is more complex than just fixing the variable screw up and
disabling cert validation for their SSLLabs F-graded site. Updates made on
their site even take quite some time to be reflected, seems to be a largely
abandoned service.
The remove_text_from_file() is not needed at all. However, system_syslogd_start() must be run after the package entries are gone from config.xml, otherwise system_syslogd_start() just re-adds the (now almost removed) package logging configuration from there.
This one will log_error() the DHCP pool message when it detects the inconsistency at the end of the setup wizard during reload all.
That way it can still be seen in the system log that this happened, and one day someone might chase down all the steps in the "reload all" process.
Compare this with https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/1935 and choose which way you would like to go.
The correct text is already displayed under the DNS server boxes at line 892.
This should also be done to master once the conversion of services_dhcp.php to bootstrap is stable.
When using VGA console, interface assignment can be a real pain in the ass because of the standard 80 columns width.
Dmesg reports the many interface description names in very long strings that don't fit in a row, this breaks the nice appearance of the interface list in the assignment menu.
The aestethics is one thing, but the real pain is that the interface list goes off screen by the time the menu asks for the WAN interface name, if there are many interfaces present. It's a real problem to choose from a list which is not visible anymore.
One fix is to maximize the length of the interface description to 48 chars.
The second fix (and also improvement for better overlooking when the list really goes off) is to print a small list of the interface names at each question. This is necessary because when somebody wants to assign the first interface to the last Optional port, the big list will be way off screen by then, and the name of it won't be visible.
This also makes it nice clean and straightforward.
