Hi, I'm a newcomer here so please be gentle.
Since last week I have a new RT-AC56U router, which I think is a great piece of hardware and the Merlin 376.49_2 firmware shines too.
One of the features that me and my family use a lot is the file sharing feature: FTP, Samba and AiCloud. This works fine except that it's annoying to log into the router as admin when only in need to access a music file or a picture. That, and I'd also like to make a guest user for people other than my family, and it wouldn't be a great idea to give them my admin password.
So I decided I would need to configure my router for a multi-user environment. As I understand, I will need the following Linux programs:
* adduser, which I have found and installed from the Optware repository
* chown, which is in the coreutils Optware repository
* sudo, which is in the Optware repository
* passwd, which I could not find anywhere.
Also, my Busybox version (v1.20.2, 2014-12-23) does not seem to include support for passwd and shadow.
How am I supposed to change passwords for my new user accounts? What utility does the webpage GUI use?
Thanks in advance.
