ReadyNAS 314 - disabled user "sync"
On my ReadyNAS 314, in the list of users, I find a user named "sync". It is inthe admin group with uid = 4. It shows up as disabled. I don't remember creating any such account. Please help me unders...
In theory yes since its already disable it shouldn't be doing anything.
Thank you. But any idea how it came to be? It's an account with very low UID. So I couldn't have created it myself. I am curious.
not without going through the log files
It's on my systems too, so it is a default account (created by Netgear).
So I wouldn't touch it.
There are a number of default users with UID's below 100 that you should not mess with. Users you add start with UID 100.
If you want to see the list, it's in the exported configuration file.
