How to access actual samba configuration
I've seen a lot of talk. But no answers, on accessing SMB and other configurations on this unit. How do you SEE what is inside the system? Can I connect a monitor and keyboard? Is there a bash termin...
Thank you for the reply. SSH would be a last ditch effort only if absolutely necessary. I don't even know that it is a permissions problem or smb.conf problem at this point. (I thought it was) But, if that were the case, then no other system would be able to see the home folders either.
But, as you said, disabling anonymous access SHOULD force a prompt for credentials... Yet, it doesn't for the home folders. Additionally, the NAS rejects any attempt to mount at /data point via Samba. No matter what creds are used.
It (Nautilus) DOES this for the default folders. It displays them nicely. And, selecting one will bring up a nice prompt for credentials, which is them appropriately honored.
The problem is that no matter how I try to mount the server... I cannot get it to show me the home folder. And, ReadyNAS is rejecting admin credentials submitted during this process. It will only accept my user-class credentials.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
Have you changed the admin password away from the default one yet? If not try changing the admin password.
Yes. I am not using the default password... However, could the password be "too long" for linux to pass?

It seems unlikely - how long is it?
Special characters might be getting in the way.
It is only 22 chars and one special character.
