Catalina, Time Machine, and my ReadyNAS
I thought I'd share my recent experience with Time Machine and my ReadyNAS 314. I finally took the plunge, and upgraded my Mac from Mojave to Catalina. Suprisingly, the upgrade went off without inci...
Sorry Greg!
Rebooting the ReadyNAS after turning on SSH with password authentication got me a bit further. Here is what happens now:
MacBook-Pro:~ JOHN$ ssh 10.0.0.2 -l JOHN
JOHN@10.0.0.2's password:
Welcome to ReadyNASOS 6.10.3
Connection to 10.0.0.2 closed.
MacBook-Pro:~ JOHN$
So now it connects but only long enough to close the session. This happens with both my user account and administration account on the ReadyNAS. I sort of remember this issue happening at the office but not the cause or solution.

Does logging in as root work?
I'm not a mac user, but I do this all the time from Windows: SSH root@10.0.0.15
Wow...sounds like a permissions issue that I don't know how to solve. Were I to guess, "Root" doesn't have permission on the ReadyNAS side to login from a remote shell. Poking around the web, there are references to a setting for the account in the /etc/passwd file. Of course, you can't get to that, because you can't login.
For what it's worth, here's how mine looks: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Hopefully, another user can provide an answer.

Well son of gun! It is working for root now. Did not a while back. The JOHN user has admin privileges.
