Login Frontview with other user
Hi i wonder if its possible to login to frontview with an other user then admin? As we are more then one managing our nas i would like to make them administrators without giving them the admin password...
i have ssh installed but cant figure out what group to add to the account.

- No - frontview is designed to only be accessed via the admin user
- Hm... So there is no htpassword file or other configuration file that checks for admin users? I am pretty good at linux in general terms just don't know where to look :)
So there is no problem if I need to hack some file manually. - No - the admin user is authorised via PAM to leverage the local admin user account, not basic HTTP authentication. To add another account would require extensive changes to the NAS firmware
- Ok thx for the information/feedback.
