SSH access for readynas duo v1

Hi

 

I know there are tons of articles out there on this but nothing seems to be working for me. This was working for me fine but I think I might have edited a file somewhere on the file system that said enable root access and disabled it. In the meantime I've installed/reinstalled the EnableRootSSH_1.0.bin and rebooted I can see in the logs :

 

"Successfully enabled root SSH access. The root password is now the same as your admin password."

 

I can connect as admin over http and use my normal admin password. When I try and ssh using root@ .. I get "Permission denied, please try again." I even downloaded all logs and checked the boot_info.log and the last line says "ssh: 1258956131"

 

So I think it's enabled but I still can't ssh. I don't want to delete all my data - is there another way I can login or just mount the / dir then I can find the file I manuallsy edited and unedit it.

 

thanks in advance for any help

Re: SSH access for readynas duo v1

If you download your logs do you see SSH=1 in services.conf

 

Not knowing what you did if EnableRootSSH isn't bringing SSH access back you may end up needing to do a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything) then install the add-on again.

 

Or if you are comfortable with using tech support mode you may be able to revert your change using that.

I think there was a file somewhere that said enable root ssh and I changed to not enabled Man Frustrated

 

if I could find a way to get access to the linux file system I could probably locate it and edit it back, but currently I only have access to the webapp and I can mount the shares, but not access the root folders.. feel silly for doing this - I am normally more tech savvy

It's been a long time since I used an OS 4.1 system, but I seem to recall EnableRootSSH being a toggle.  You run it once, it enables.  Again, and it disables, etc.  It may not give the right message when disabling.

ToggleSSH is for Toggling SSH access for support.

 

EnableRootSSH is not a toggle add-on.
