I have the exact same issue since installing 6.9.3. Permission denied on /dbbroker. I am also experiencing connection issues now with NAS Utils app for android, which worked fine before. I really need to be able to shutdown the NAS remotely, so I tried installing firmware 6.9.2 again, but I can't. It throws an unexpected error when I try that.

edit:

When I visited the admin page again to shut it down, I got the firmware install dialog after all. So I went ahead with it. 6.9.2 installed ok. I can now also once again remotely shutdown the NAS from the commandline. So it's definately a 6.9.3 issue. I will stay with 6.9.2 until this (hopefully) gets fixed.

Going back to 6.9.2 was a very good idea :cattongue:

This sounds like it might be related to a security change in 6.9.3.

  I am using a Windows 10 PC. I had created a batch file on it, which I can run remotely using my phone. It is a similar script as the one posted by Xatosch. Got it from here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Remote-shutdown-on-OS-6/td-p/846137. This, as mentioned, no longer works in 6.9.3.
  
  Indeed, the cause of it not working any longer might very well be a security fix. If so, do you perhaps know of another way to shut the NAS down with a batch file? Or does anyone else?
