Hi everybody
i'll like to give an access to a friend of mine, by creating a new user. I tested it, but the bad thing is that he'll have the same root permissions.
Any option to block the access to webif/system to that new user?
I've created it by "adduser username" command in putty.
Thanks ^^

You know, that this considered Card-Sharing and illegal?? Any access outside your own LAN is handled over the WAN (internet) and is definately not allowed...

Don't be ridiculous. Not everything beyond your vision is wan sharing by definition.

I don't realise that. In fact, it's only to see a program when i'll be at his home, and don't want to use my root pass out of my home for security purpose :-S
If it's a problem, I can delete my question...
Thanks

The only save way to grand access to your STB outside your own home is to use a VPN tunnel.

Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.
Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. 
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.
Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.

Als ik alles al wist hoefde ik ook niets te vragen. If I had all the knowledge I had no questions at all.

If you want to see a program outside your home (even if you own your own smartcard in probably another receiver) it is still sharing over WAN and still is (contrary to Catastrofus' reply) illegal...
Apart from that: what's the fuss anyway... Take out your smartcard and temporarily insert it in your friend's box. Watch the program and when you want to return home, take out the card...

Again... If this friend's PC is at your home and in your own network it's perfectly allright. As stated earlier (just read) if you go to your friends house and consequently in another network, traffic goes over WAN and is not allowed..

Since when has streaming across the net been illegal? This question has nothing to do with card sharing.

So in your opinion, place shifting devices are illegal? You are completely wrong. Nothing like that is illegal, because there is no law stating such things. The content provider might have in their license agreement such terms, but a license agreement is not "the law". It is just a two party agreement. Even if someone signs it, a term could be judged as "unfair" and be cancelled in a court of law. For example, all EU content providers apply geo limitations in their contracts. However, the european court of justice have ruled this is unfair and all EU citizens should have access to such services. So guess who is breaking the law ...
