Just got off the phone with tech support. Does the NV+ v2 really not have root ssh access? I can't get started setting up my development environment and testing my packages without shell access... I may have to return the box :(Anyone have working shell access?Thanks,Scott

Here's the SSH add-on: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/arm/5.3/EnableRootSSH_1.0-arm.binDo pay heed to the warning:NetGear wrote:With the EnableRootSSH add-on, you can now remote login to the ReadyNAS RAIDiator shell as a root user. Initial password for root will be the same as the current FrontView admin password. Please keep in mind that NETGEAR may deny support if you’ve enabled root access.Username is 'root' not 'admin' and password should be set by default to your admin password.On Mac or Linux use the Terminal. In Mac OS X this is found under Applications > Utilities Terminalssh root@ip.address.of.nasOn Windows, download the free PuTTy app and use that to connect.You can simply change the 'root' password though:MDGM-NAS:~# passwdEnter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfullyAlso note that APT is pre-installed on arm or x86. So you can do an "apt-get update" (DON'T do an "apt-get upgrade") and then start installing packages via apt.

Thanks! Worked like a charm -- wished tech support knew about it, almost drove to Fry's to return it, now I'm a happy hacker :)Cheers,Scott

Glad to be of help. Also note there's a new 5.3.5 beta available which you might be interested in: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=148&t=62728

Thanks, already found and installed that. Might be worth updating the FAQs, stickies, or Developer Links on readynas.com -- that last one still has instructions for the sparc based units (which I used on my 1100 that finally died...)

I agree they should update those guides.What happened to the 1100? Do you see any light pattern when you attempt to turn it on?: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/what_does_this_light_pattern_meanIf the 1100 was purchased brand new on/after Aug 21, 2007 it would still be covered by a 5 year warranty.
