[QUOTE="P3t3r_2, post: 557426, member: 285434"] Glad to hear your problem solved. Some things I forgot to mention before when creating a new user: 1) The user name must be at least one character to a maximum of eight characters long. 2) If web interface has a password you cannot log into it with the new user, so you have to disable the password from the web interface plugin on the dreambox or follow number (3) below for alternative. 3) To login as a root user and keep original follow this steps below: [B] Do not[/B] [B]delete[/B] the original root line, instead put the hash key (#) in front of it (this comments it out) make a copy of it underneath and remove password. Eg. [COLOR=Red]# root:*******:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh [COLOR=Black]< Original line >[/COLOR] [/COLOR][COLOR=Red]root::0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh[/COLOR] <New line > *Optional -- Use telnet and login as user root and put your own password. This will allow you to also connect via web interface using root as user and your password. [B](might have problem with CS provider connecting remotely, haven't tested it yet)[/B] To put back original root line just remove the second line you put or rename user to another name and remove the hash key on the first line. Also do this for the file [B]passwd-[/B] 4) To clear your tracks of adding a second user (so you don't get into trouble with your provider) do the following: Remove the second user from the file passwd, (make sure original line is there and does not have a hash character in front!!!) Remove the second user also from file [B]passwd-[/B] (check if its there also) Go to folder [B]/var/log[/B] on the dreambox there should be a file called [B]vsftpd.log[/B] (edit it and remove all text inside it or clear lines which match the date you messed around) Then close ftp/tuxcom connection to dreambox 5) [B]Import[/B], this modifying is at your own risk!!! Do not hold me or the site responsible if something goes wrong or damage occurs on your dreambox. If someone is going to write up an idiots guide, use post 26 to indicate what each parameter on the line stands for and also state that you don't need to reset the password but can also add a new user to gain access. Thank you P3t3r [/QUOTE]
