FTP Server ReadyNAS Duo V2

Firmware is the latest 5.3.11, I believe.

I have worked out some of the problems.

I added the ftp user back into the passwd file and then used pwconv to copy to the shadow file. Now I can log in anonymously using either ftp or anonymous as a user name. I can make changes to the ftp service via frontview with no issues, but if I make changes to the share I have assigned for ftp, it wipes the ftp user from the passwd and shadow file and I have to manually add back. Don't know why.

As for access from the internet, that had to do with opening ports for passive ftp on my router, something I didn't have to do using vsftp from another linux system.  So after arranging that on the router and via the frontview config, I can connect via active and passive ftp.

So the only issue I have left is that the ftp user gets removed if I make changes to a share that has ftp access enabled.

Also, I want to change the login message, I tried adding a ServerIdent line to /etc/proftpd.conf but it gets wiped whenever stop/starting or making changes to the ftp service from frontview, is there a way to add custom configuration?
