Config file is not writable on MSSII

[tox1c]

Hi

I’m running Firefly Version svn-1696 on a MSSII NAS with modded firmware of 3.4.90 firmware (2008-05-12) http://openmss.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1026
I followed these instructions to install firefly
ipkg install mt-daapd-svn
which I found here http://openmss.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=987

It all seemed to install ok over telnet on Windows XP and the server is up and running at 192.168.1.10:3689
I can log in with any user name as long as the password is mt-daapd. I have tried multiple usernames with the password and they all show a yellow warning box at the configuration page saying:
Your config file is not writable, you can not change anything using this webpage
I have tried changing permissions over telnet in XP to the server by using
chmod 777 /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
which doesn’t seem to work but doesn’t give an error either

And I also tried ( http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Firefly_on_StockFirmware ):
chmod o+w /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
&
chown nobody /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
but still not able to have any luck.
I’ve also tried with and without telnet authentication from the modded firmware MSSII web config (Advanced-Services) – but both ways go straight in without a username password ie just type o 192.168.1.10 and it’s in.

Any ideas? I think it’s got to do with permissions which I can’t seem to figure out how to change properly. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Cheers
