===How are Alias's set===
For CS407 fw597 they are set in "/etc/profile", you can add your own to it.
 
===How are ports/services defined===
For CS407 fw731 the linux standard services file "/etc/services" is used, see http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl5_services.htm


===How is PATH set===
===How is PATH set===
For CS407 fw597 'I think' this is first set by "/etc/rc" then by "/etc/rc.local" (if you have ipkg) then by "/etc/profile" and then by the ".profile" file in the users HOME directory (i.e. "/root/.profile" for user root).

===What happens when you log in to the Command Line Interface===
===What happens when you log in to the Command Line Interface===
For CS407 fw598 when you log in to the Comand Line Interface (via either SSH or Telnet) as a user (usually root) the NAS creates a ptty ash shell for you and drops you into that users "home" directory as defined in the file "/etc/passwd". It then runs the file "/etc/profile". If the home directory of the logging in user contains a file ".profile" (synology use one for the user "root" it is "/root/.profile") this is read and also actioned setting environment variables, such as path, alias's, prompt etc. You can add to this file to run scripts or set parameters automatically when you log in using the CLI.

It appears: For the DS210j, a newly created user is blocked from logging in.  To unblock, edit /etc/passwd to /bin/ash (instead of /sbin/nologin) for the appropriate user.  It is good practice to login as root/admin only when necessary, with general fiddling with program configs being safer done as a non-root user.
