Hi Cyberjock
Mate, I wasn't toying with what works! I will still be doing what you suggested with the exception that I would be changing the sudoers file that resides in '/conf/base/etc/local/' folder using vi.
This is based on what Dusan said - using visudo will not change the file that I need to change to make my changes to the sudoers file persistent after reboot! That was all! I don't know any better and I am being guided by people of the likes of you, Dusan and others!
P.S. Its all working now - the sudoers files retains my changes - all good! Thanks again to all of you who helped me get this far.
One more issue - I have been able to connect from my Windows 7 PC using PuTTY with password authentication, not public key authentication. No problems. However, I was now trying to connect using Plink. I have copied the plink.exe file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Plink folder, added this path to the environment variable but am not able to connect from the dos command prompt :- it comes up with an error saying fatal error, connection refused.
The command given was :-
plink -v -ssh anyone@192.168.1.3
Is there something wrong that I am doing here?
I am able to connect to the FreeNAS box using PuTTY though through my saved session.
Best regards
Deepak
