users with blank passwords. How?

I have a couple home users with blank passwords that need access. I see the GUI wont let me create an account without specifying a password.

Yes, I know I can create an account on the NAS with a password and then map the drive and choose "use alternate credentials" but I would prefer that my user accounts match.

So is there a security setting in the ReadyNAS that will allow user accounts with blank passwords?

  • You could create a user with the same name but with a password, just need to log on to the NAS once with the pw after that it won't be required from the given PC?
