mk

OK, I found one clue: lots and lots of commands are implemented in the NAS via busybox. but some of the 'normal' versions of these commands actually need to run "as root", such as 'passwd' and 'su' (so an ordinary user can change thei…

mk beer

I'm getting a bit tired of all this "NAS digging" without much progress - I *still* don't know how SSH access is limited to root and admin :( #NAS maybe it's time for a !beer

mk

#pffft! I *still* haven't figured out how the #NAS controls that only root and admin are allowed to log into SSH :( #diggingmakestired

mk mcnalu

@mcnalu *chuckle* yes, very much like that - especially since I'm not all that experienced with Linux either (though I'm learning pretty fast) :D #NAS

mk mcnalu

@mcnalu ah, I found it: together ith another load of links to busybox it's in /bin. easy. :) #NAS

mk mcnalu

@mcnalu as one of my next steps, I also want to figure out if (and how) I can install perl - which should enable running rsnapshot (if busybox doesn't get in the way of its other requirements, that is). plain rsync is enabled, that's no problem. #NAS

mk mcnalu

@mcnalu yes, I'm guessing it's not in /usr/bin but some other directory. I'm also staring at the current sshd_config file where root login is allowed but I don't see how admin login is also allowed... oh, and no man pages on this box, of course #NAS

mk mcnalu

@mcnalu it opens the file :) but without the 'busybox' it works as well 'vi somefile' #NAS

mk mcnalu

@mcnalu I just typed 'vi' and that worked. doing the same with nano or pico resulted in a "not found" error. I just don't unerstand yet *why* that works ;-) #iliketounderstandthings #NAS

mk r7

@r7 yes - at least there *is* an editor and I can get by with vi (with the help of my falling-apart Linux Pocket Guide :D #NAS

mk mcnalu

@mcnalu I've yet to try sshfs... the problem I'm trying to solve is that (now) SSH login is only for users root and admin - I want it the other way round with special SSH user only login (who can then su to become super user if needed…

mk mk

@mk trial and error... although I cannot find (yet) where it's hiding, 'vi' does seem to live on the NAS (just 'vi' gives me an empty edit screen) (but nano and pico cannot be found) #thingsarelookingup! #NAS

mk mk

@mk theoretically I could change the SSH server config - if only I had an editor. caot ind vi*, nano o pico - now what? #NAS

mk

how does one do "administration" in SSH on the NAS when there is no editor (that I can find)? #NAS #hmm

mk

interesting: nearly everything in /usr/bin is a link to /bin/busybox #NAS
