Disabling EnableRootSSH
I installed EnableRootSSH in my ReadNAS Duo v1 (4.1.9 firmware). Having finished with it, I now wish to disable ssh access, or at least ssh access to the to the root UserID. Is that possible and how?

I agree. I've seen several posts here from people who've suddenly lost frontview access. Having another way in seems reasonable, so why disable it?

Since it gives full access to the NAS, it needs to have a strong password (as does the admin account).
