Creating the first SSH user when hacking the My Book World
February 4th, 2009
I recently purchased a 1 Terabyte My Book World NAS. It’s a great way to store lots of big files to be shared across all of the computers in my home network. I also have an Xbox 360 which does a great job of playing streaming video over the network. However, the 360 can’t access network shares directly.
In the past I’ve ran a server running either Media Center on Windows or TwonkyVision or MediaTomb on Linux. However, there is a lot of additional overhead with maintaining a whole machine just for media streaming.
Fortunately, the My Book is up to the task. It just needs a little tweaking to unlock its full potential as a Linux-based machine.
