Verbatim External Hard Drive NAS - Manual (Page 19)

Fill in the initial screen with a User Name and Password. It is
recommended that these fi elds match the User Name and
Password that this user normally enters when logging into
Windows or to Mac OS X. The User Name must be lower-case
and may be a maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters, without
spaces. The User Name must begin with an alphabetic character.
Note: If your Windows username currently contains a space character,
or begins with a number, you may want to modify your Windows
username slightly so that it can follow the same format required by the
NAS drive. For Mac OS X user accounts, your username is automatically
saved without spaces as a fi eld called “Short Name”. In this way the
“Short Name” already follows the format required by the NAS drive.
Also fi ll in the password. The password may be a maximum of
16 alphanumeric characters, without spaces. If you leave the
password fi eld blank, the NAS drive will accept this as a null
password. This means that you will not need to fi ll in any password
in the future when accessing the NAS drive using this username.
A description of this user may optionally be entered in the fi eld
provided.
If you want to create a private folder that only this network user
can access, then check the box marked “Create Private Folder”.
This folder cannot be accessed via the “admin” user account
or any other user account. The folder name will automatically
be given the same name as User Name. The path of your newly
created private folder will automatically be set to /mnt/IDE1.
Though in some environments the NAS drive supports a quota
feature that limits individual user accounts to a maximum amount
of storage space on the drive, this feature is grayed-out and is
not selectable in the factory default condition. This is because
the default disk format type FAT32 does not support the quota
function. If user account disk quotas are important to you, then
you should consider reformatting the drive to EXT2 or EXT3
format, as described later in section “NAS Administration
Reference”.
