I've seen that too (though my last reset was a while ago). I agree it's a bug.
Personally I'd rather have explicit controls over accessing the NAS volume (and allow any sharing protocol). Maybe put that in the idea exchange.
Hmm Didnt make myself clear
When I set the box up a wizard ran which amongst other things made me change the admin password from the default "password" to a new password. So when I had the SMB access problems it was not with a default password, I had to change it AGAIN before i could access the shares via SMB from a windows box despite rebooting both pc and readynas. Something weird happens with the password setting in the startup script that doesnt set it for SMB. Maybe SMB isnt enabled at that point?? But this would appear to be a bug. Forgive me if I dont factory reset the box as it takes 12hrs to sync. I have seen a few posts with people who had a similar problem when upgrading but no solution hence the mention.
The SMBd log had this failure in it.. (Note the password was definately correct)

net use \\ReadnasName\Data /user:admin adminpswd
Did the job thanks
