The trouble is this is a cheap commodity unit that is really designed as a
media server. Although it runs Linux under the bonnet, Netgears runs its own
interface layer which can only be accessed though their Browser Config page.
I can get at files in the User area through SMB/CIFS and (allegedly) through
FTP, but I can't get root priviledges to install anything else or change
anything they don't want me to change.
I don't mind that, as long as the advertised features work as advertised.
Netgear Support are investigating why I can't get in.......
