sudo?

[cids.dk]

I been trying to find out how to enable sudo on my NAS, but whit no luck.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Why do you want to ?

[cids.dk]

Don't like the idea of logging in as root, each time I have to gain rights to modify files.
And as it is now only root can changes, the content of files like "/etc/shadow" or "/etc/hosts.deny".
This also makes it hard (if not imposable) to use the exec() function in php, to modify files were root access is required.

I know that I can use chmod on the files, to allow other users to modify them, but I don't consider this to be a smart solution to my problem.

Thanks for your explanation.

In that case you might want to install sudo via ipkg ?

If you do a search on syno-optware.zip, ipkg, optware, synology you'll find plenty of howto's ... if not give me a pm and I'll help you.

To make life easier (and assuming Dutch not being your native language) I did some searching for you:
http://www.synology.nl/forum/bestanden/syno-optware.zip
and
http://synology.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=491
are the places you might want to look at

thank you for your responds.

well I attempted to do so all ready, but

Code: Select all

ipkg list | grep sudo

showed no result.

But i now know why, I didn't have the right repository(s) for ipkg.

Here is how one fix this, in case someone else wanna know.
But remember, to read the disclaimer regarding modifying your Synology Product before you do anything else.

You will need to have ipkg installed on the unit you like to modify (this is not covered below)

For ARM based Synology products:
add

Code: Select all

src nslu2 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-x07/cross/unstable/

to your repository list (/opt/etc/ipkg.conf)

For PowerPc based Synology products:
add

Code: Select all

src nslu2 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-e500/cross/unstable/

to your repository list (/opt/etc/ipkg.conf)

then do.

Code: Select all

ipkg update
