iomega Home Media Network Drive



So I bought a 1TB iomega Home Media Network Drive (HMND) from catchoftheday.com.au (was $AUD 208). I was planning on getting a Western Digital My World Book, but this seemed cheaper and to be based on a very similar platform.


Some good sites on the my world book are:

I've managed (after a bit of trial and error) thanks to my handy USB to SATA adapter to enable telnet access on the HMND. It seems you need to uncomment the line about telnet in /etc/inetd.conf. You'll need to add a user to the system (using the web interface) to allow you to login. You'll also need to add this user to the sudoer's list (in /etc/sudoers). You can just can just copy the line about root and change the text "root" for your new "username".

Then if you reboot the device you'll find that it will answer via telnet.

The cpuinfo seems to match the second generation of the MBWE (Hardware on 2nd gen. MBWE):
