Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.
You are not logged in.
I was playing around with permissions when I tried to make a new user account, and somehow I messed up the root account.
I searched through the forum exhaustively, and my problem actually resemble's the OP's situation here: http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1785
However, reinstalling fun_plug did not change anything. Should I just delete the ffp directory entirely and then reinstall?
I tried to follow the installation instructions again, but when trying to change the passwd on a telnet prompt, I get the following error:
passwd: Cannot determine your user name.
"id -u" confirms that my uid is 0.
/etc/passwd only lists two users, sshd and my other user account. /etc/shadow has corresponding lines for each account.
Running grpck asks me to delete the "root" user from the "root" group, "admin" group, and "nobody" group, but that doesn't sound right to me, so I left those groups as is.
To clarify, my user account still works, and I can still ssh to DNS-323 perfectly fine. I can't sudo or use anything that requires root access.
Any ideas short of a complete reformat & restore to factory defaults? It's not really an option right now since I'm not physically close to the actual box.

If you have access to the default webadmin page, you can reset the box to the factory defaults. This will not remove any data, just the configurations.
Lastly, not to hijack your thread but when I telnet to my box, it doesn't ask me to login unless i specifically specify the 'login' command. I've followed the howto steps as well, saved the passwords and everything, but no luck.

Thanks for the response.
EDIT: I was able to contact someone near the DNS and had them hard reset it for me. Guess
As for login with telnet, have you checked ffp.log for any errors? If you copied the command directly from the tutorial,
"sed -i '/flags/ s@^@#@' telnetd.sh"
you'll get a usage error about the -i flag. I didn't bother trying to fix it, but I suppose upgrading your version of sed would fix it.
