Enabling Telnet(ssh) to a DNS-323

I actually own an NAS, a DNS-323. Which happens to runs linux. It just the system is locked down.


I don't really do much except to stash my stuff on it. Until now. Turns out that there is a community around this device, and they have done impressive stuff on it.

Most of it revolve around fun_plug.

To use it is. Essentially, Download fun_plug and fun_plug.tgz from here  .
And copy to Volume_1

`

And reboot

In the end of the day, you will able to telnet to the NAS, as root without password.

So you should run in telnet, pwconv,

pwconv
passwd
usermod -s /ffp/bin/sh root

pwck
grpck

login

if it is working, run the command in telnet to store password.

store-passwd.sh

        
You should really enable ssh, in telnet.

cd /ffp/start
sh sshd.sh start

And you should at least enable login for telnet, go to /ffp/start/telnetd.sh, find and remove '-l /ffp/bin/sh'.Use vi to do that..

Now we have a linux machine finally look like a linux machine, use shell, and ssh. That's not all.

The community have a few package to be used in funplug, you can investigate here, at middle of the page. They have ported backupPC, lighthttp, python etc.

So we have a full scale linux machine, and due to GPL compliance, dlinks have the tool chain plus kernel open to us http://wiki.dns323.info/howto:crosscompile. So we can cross compile software to this device too. And actually install debian, but with risk of bricking.

Have fun!!!!
