Well, that is hard to determine. If you're asking whether the
drive has something like an "smb.conf" file containing share
settings the answer is no. The only access I have to the Maxtor
drive is via a browser interface. I have used the menu in that to
set all files for full public access, but beyond that I have no
finer control. (I have
So in public mode, it's probably going to throw all user info away
and map everything to a universal id. Have you looked closely at
the file perm/ownership from the Windows client? Saved files as joe
user & then jane user - does it keep the distinction? I'll venture no.
There is no Windows "client". The Maxtor shows up in "My Netowrk
Places" and is mapped as just another drive from Windows; in my
particular case, as the "Z" drive.
If it's possible, have you tried setting up individual users
through the nas interface?
Yes. The drive has been set up with different users since the
beginning.
Could also just work with the fact that no perm/owner info will be
kept. Collect that info & store it to a file. A recursive getfacl
to collect & setfacl to restore could do the trick.
Judging by what I see through the web interface, there must be SOME
type of user info stored, but how or where I don't know and can't see.
found via www.openmss.org that the underlying filesystem of the
drive is Linux - reiser I think - but beyond that I have no data
on the filesystem other than what I see when I smbmount the drive.)
Perhaps there's a way to break into the Linux the nas is running &
change stuff to your suiting.
I think this is a possibility and I've been looking for more info;
unfortunately without success so far.
I've heard many times of people with an appliance trying to do
something beyond its intended function & hitting a brick wall. Your
situation is why I never recommend an appliance to anyone other
than a pure, non-hacker, non-power type Windows user. A NAS type
distro or even a full distro on a junker PC would be a better
solution. More work, but better results.
You're probably right. But since I've already got the drive I need
to figure out a way to use it.

Have you scanned for open ports? These things usually have SSH or
telnet or some other maintenance port open with a known default
user/pass.
I have tried telnet and ssh directly, but I haven't scanned for open
ports. How do I do that?
Rick J.
Use NMap with NMapFE (nmap frontend) on Linux, or something like YAPS
(yet another port scanner) on Windows. Any crappy port scanner will do,
you don't need anything like stealth scanning (I hope!). Which ever one
you use, do a service scan, or scan the first 1024 ports. You could try
something fancier like a SYN or XMAS scan if it's a BSD based appliance.
Also, does it have a USB port or any other interface? Like anything
else, it's just about getting your foot in the door, after that, you
just need a bit of leverage. ;) The thing is, most of these boxes have
to have a way for the upstream vendor to upgrade the firmware, which is
usually just an IMG of the compressed OS, so they're usually not
completely locked down.
