I recently had an issue with out PIX 506 firewall, i had to do a reload which seems to have sorted the issue.
One of the problems i had with this firewall is that it never saved any info after i would configure it, so.e.g. i'd use the command username john password password, it would be configured and then i'd save the info using write -t command, however if i reload the firewall it loses that info.
This brings me to the recent issue i had, i had to reboot the firewall, i was well aware id have to recreate 2 or 3 users, but the username command is missing now, I've pasted a list of all the commands available to me now below, as of that reboot i am unable to create any users, can anyone help?
