Hi, I'm new to FreeNAS.
I'm a little puzzled by the subject of User accounts. There doesn't seem to be any prescriptive advice in the Documentation either: http://doc.freenas.org/11/account.html A lot of "what" and no "why".
My initial UX is I'm asked to set the root password and that's what I use to login with the Web interface.
However it would seem I'm unable to login with ssh with the same credentials: `ssh root@freenas.local`
Ignoring the complexity of Guest accounts so people in my LAN can see my Samba shares and the unnerving long list of existing systems users, if I want to be able to rsync data to my NAS, should I be creating a new account in my name with my public key? Or should I be modifying the root user?
Should I be using the root account at all?
