Cannot disable admin account

Post by hzaagman »

It is now 2021 and still the item is in my opnion "hot" after the last ransom attack. Qnap suggests : disable admin, but see previous posts : there are lot of items depending on "admin" access. "su admin" is not possible, error "su: incorrect password". The disabled admin account has still a valid password as can be checked by reenabling the admin account. Why not a modified "su" which can use the the disabled admin ?

I don't know if we will do this or not. But I will forward your suggestion.
