Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Hi everyone,
I followed the following tutorial to install ffp, enable ssh, enable the root user, and disable telnet:
http://nas-tweaks.net/CH3SNAS:Tutorials … g_fun_plug
Everything worked fine until restarting the DNS-323. Now, when I try and SSH and log in as root, I get the following:
WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! Changing password for admin Old password: Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters) Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. New password: Re-enter new password: Cannot change ID to root.
At which point it kicks me out. I can't telent in as telnet is disabled. Any thoughts as to why this happened? I followed that guide to the letter...

The passwd program needs to 'become root' in order to change the password files. This message says, the attempt failed.
First, the 'pwconv', 'passwd', 'login', 'store-passwd.sh' steps in the tutorial should have fixed the password files (so it never expires). In your case, this obviously didn't work.
Second, there not many possible causes for passwd to fail in this way. If you can still open an FTP session (or reenable password-less telnet using the approach at the end of this section: http://dns323.kood.org/howto:ffp#the_root_user ), check permissions of /ffp/bin/passwd. Should look like this:
root@bob:~# ls -l /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/bin/passwd -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 39544 Aug 25 13:49 /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/bin/passwd
Finally, you didn't say much about the context. Is it a CH3SNAS? Which firmware? Are you running ffp from disk or usb drive? Any unexpected messages?

Thanks for the reply, fonz. Here are some more details:
This is a DNS-323, firmware 1.05. ffp running from disk.
I enabled FTP via the web interface and logged in. passwd permissions are 755.
*Edit*
Of course, it would help if I were logging in as "root" instead of "admin"......... whoops...
