[200] How to run Shell command on the NMT

[jutoto]

Hi,
How can I use shell command on my NMT, I just need to change the permissions on a directory???

Thank you

The 101 basic version:
Install telnet or LundmanShell package from CSI (nmtinstaller.com)
Once you have shell:
# chmod [permission] /share/[directory]
Read all about it:
http://ss64.com/bash/chmod.html

If you are looking for a way to keep this persistent after boot, you need to add your chmod command to the community start_app.sh script.
If you install something with the CSI the start_app.sh script will be put automagically at /share.

Why isn't telnet access (or ssh) default on NMT?

I tried telnet using the Terminal on my Macbook (after installing it with CSI) but it disconnected because it was trying to load some kind of profile file called 'macbook' which it couldn't find.

There is no 'macbook' file on the NMT. I use Mac OSX10.6.4/Terminal with telnet to a C200 pretty much on a daily basis, works fine for me.

Just installed telnet 1.8-mnt1 and tried it again. I get the following error:

Code:

macbook:~ joran$ telnet 192.168.178.21
Trying 192.168.178.21...
Connected to 192.168.178.21.
Escape character is '^]'.

Linux 2.6.22.19-27-4 (macbook) (ttyp0)

telnetd: /bin/login -p -h macbook : No such file or directory.
Connection closed by foreign host.
macbook:~ joran$

What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm, it's like your Mac telnet client is sending the credentials of who ever your logged in on as on the macbook. So if your "james" on the macbook, the PCH is looking for the home directory of "james" on the PCH.

Just a wild guess but look at your telnet client switches and try to force a "root" logon.

Seems I needed to install Busybox as well. It was searching for /bin/login which didn't exist (discovered it using LundamShell). Works like a charm now.

Your issue seemed to be somewhat different but we figured out the "busybox" problem in the telnet thread;

Thank you all.

It is working for me. I have installed busybox and telnetd from CSI and loggin as root without password.
