help with some basic osx terminal commands. fixing permissions on NAS share
I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm computer literate but by no means an expert! I'm simply trying to recover data from my DLink DNS343 NAS mounted on my X86 iMac using SMB. Somehow, in moving to a new computer, I have lost access to some files on the NAS. Just some files are access denied.

After 6 hours of research, I think what I am supposed to do is fix the permissions on the NAS. The option to change them via the finder is not there in this case. It simply says "No Access".

So i think what i need to do sounds something like the following:
Use terminal to get root access to the SMB NAS share.
Execute chown and make me the owner of all folders and files
Execute chmod and change all files and folders to 777

Then I can hopefully access all the files and get them the heck off the thing and use an external hard drive like every other average joe who doesnt know how to work a NAS.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it SO MUCH. The NAS currently stores all my family videos, photos, etc etc.
SmilieThanks!

pppd-radius

PPPD-RADIUS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    PPPD-RADIUS(8)

NAME

       radius.so - RADIUS authentication plugin for pppd(8)

SYNOPSIS

       pppd [ options ] plugin radius.so

DESCRIPTION

       The  RADIUS  plugin for pppd permits pppd to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS server instead of the
       usual /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files.

       The RADIUS plugin is built on a library called radiusclient which has its own configuration files (usually in  /etc/radiusclient),  consult
       those files for more information on configuring the RADIUS plugin

OPTIONS

       The RADIUS plugin introduces one additional pppd option:

       radius-config-file filename
	      The  file  filename  is  taken  as  the  radiusclient  configuration  file.   If	this  option  is  not  used,  then the plugin uses
	      /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf as the configuration file.

       avpair attribute=value
	      Adds an Attribute-Value pair to be passed on to the RADIUS server on each request.

       map-to-ifname
	      Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute to number equal to interface name (Default)

       map-to-ttyname
	      Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute value via libradiusclient library

USAGE

       To use the plugin, simply supply the plugin radius.so option to pppd, and edit /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf appropriately.   If  you
       use  the  RADIUS  plugin,  the  normal  pppd authentication schemes (login, checking the /etc/ppp/*-secrets files) are skipped.	The RADIUS
       server should assign an IP address to the peer using the RADIUS Framed-IP-Address attribute.
