It is important to edit the filesystem as a broken raid1 mirror, or else on the next boot the root filesystem mirrors will not be in sync. The next time the device boots it will notice one disk is more uptodate and resync the other three and as its only M its very quick to sync. Something like this worked for me:.

Now you will have a working telnet deamon but no user to login as, the default user admin does not have shell set. Pop the disk back in and as soon as it starts pinging you should be able to login as root. At which point I set a new root password with passwd. WD ShareSpace. Telnet The easiest way I found was to add a telnet service. If you use the alternate firmware site the password is 'root' Now I would like to say, at this point, with the firmware release I have this did not work for me.

Then su to root with the password being root or "" depending on which scripts you ran. There is more than enough storage space to work with so there isn't any reason you couldn't run a full LAMP environment off of it along with whatever services you want.

If not, don't. I recently came across a cool app that helps share files across cross-platform OSes without a hitch. It is called Dropbox www.

They have installs for Linux, MS and Apple. I actually can share files in my Virtual Machine with my host, without having to make sure that the file shares are set up properly. For larger groups, they have options for paid accounts with larger space provisions. You guys are still the highlight to my trips to the mailbox each month!

Keep it up! You're absolutely right. Dropbox is one of those nifty apps that is indeed cross-platform and largely relies on Internet-hosted services.

It's not quite a Web-based app, but leverages the Internet as a means to communicate. We demonstrated the virtues of Dropbox on our Web site as well: www. It's an awesome tool! For legal warnings, I believe the sshd banner option would be more appropriate. The banner is presented to users before a successful login, so people are warned well before they gain access to the system.

Remember to restart sshd to apply the change. Kyle Rankin replies: Thanks for the tip! I recommend checking with a lawyer to see how enforceable these notices are before you do a system-wide deployment. I don't know yet if there is any subtle difference between these models.

It arrived three days ago, and without trouble, my browser brought up the WD Shared Storage Manager Web interface, reporting firmware version 2. As an upgrade was available, I immediately upgraded to 2.

I logged out, rebooted, logged back in, and yes, ssh was permanent. So far so good. Martin Hinner also provided instructions to install nano, an alternative text editor to vi, so I used wget to obtain the ncurses When I tried.

As I understand it, the problem is at least that there is no gcc compiler on this MyBook.
