I've tried them all, and I honestly can't figure out what the heck I used for the root password. Any thoughts on how to recover it? Stuff I've tried:

- I reallowed telnet and can telnet in as admin, but I get an empty (broken?) shell where no commands run.

- I cp'd the shadow file... it contains three users as disabled sh user, admin, and some other user i didn't recognize. I tried blanking out the admin password hash and cp'ing it back but I still can't log in.

I'm stumped.

That would be helpful if I could get to a working shell session... per above, logging in as admin gives me a BusyBox shell that doesn't accept any commands (it acts like a text editor or something).

The text tells you how to get a working shell session. Read on... "Reactivating telnet. ..."

I have the same problem,but on my NSA221 box. I know there is a Discussion for that device here, but I could not find any threads regarding lost password in there, so I'm posting here.
Read the discussion in the link provided and tried to follow instructions there with no success. I copy the fun_plug.tgz to my usb drive in the NAS and reboot, but telnet.sh is marked as Inactive.
Maybe I'm not placing the tarball in the correct location? Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

The FFP-stick on a 221 works a bit different as fun_plug.sh on a DNS-323. It will not extract any fun_plug.tgz on boot. I think in your case the easiest way to get telnetd running, is to connect your FFP-stick to a different linux box (a PC boot from a linux live cd, for instance), and switch the 'executable' flag of telnetd.sh

capetito · 2012-08-25 23:33:15

Once again, Mijzelf, thanks for the info. I have never run linux on a pc before, soooooo, which version would you recommend for this?
Thanks.

capetito · 2012-08-26 07:15:12

Ok, I installed DSL on a VM on my pc. How do I connect to my FFP-stick? Do I need to plug it in to my PC running linux? Or should I leave it in my NSA box and access it from my linux-running-pc? How?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is new ground for me. I really appreciate your help.

Mijzelf · 2012-08-26 08:30:46

Plug the stick into your PC. Tell the VM to pass it to it's internal OS.

It's a time ago I looked at DSL, cannot remember if it automounts usb sticks, but if it doesn't, I suppose there is some menu item/desktop button to mount it.

The stick contains 2 partitions, 1 FAT, about 10MB, and one ext3, taking all remaining space. That 2nd partitions contains only one directory 'ffproot' (and a lot of hidden files, but these are, well, hidden). ffproot contains your ffp installation.

You'll need to be logged in as root, so it's possible you have to do it from the commandline:

Code:

chmod a+x /mountpoint/of/stick/ffproot/ffp/start/telnetd.sh

capetito · 2012-08-26 23:48:28

Mijzelf, I used a LiveCD of Ubuntu 12 as a linux box, and plugged my ffp stick into it. Accessed a terminal and tried what you suggested. It tells me operation not permitted.

ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/FFPROOT/ffproot/ffp/start$ chmod a+x telnetd.sh
chmod: changing permissions of `telnetd.sh': Operation not permitted

What now?

sudo chmod a+x telnetd.sh
