Users And Passwords - Digi PortServer CM User Manual

For configuration problems, the user has two options:
1. Edit the file(s) causing the problem with vi, then execute the commands:
saveconf
reboot
2. Reset the configuration by executing the commands:
echo 0 > /proc/flash/script
reboot
If the problem is due to an upgrade or downgrade, a second downgrade or upgrade will be necessary to
reverse the process. First, the network must be initialized in order to reach a ftp server. Execute the
following script, replacing the parameters with values appropriate for your system. If your ftp server is on
the same network as the CM, the gw and mask parameters are optional.
config_eth0 ip 200.200.200.1 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 200.200.200.5
At this point, the DNS configuration (in the file /etc/resolv.conf) should be checked. Then, download the
kernel image using the ftp command.

Users and Passwords

A username and password are necessary to log in to the PortServer CM. The user "root" is predefined,
without a password. A password should be configured as soon as possible to avoid unauthorized access.
Enter the command:
passwd
to create a password for the root user.
To create a regular user (without root priveleges), use the commands:
adduser user_name
4-4
