Maybe this is a silly question -- if it is, someone whack me up-side
the head with the google results. 

Why isn't there a way to walk and manage the file system(s) from the
filer itself? Or, is there, and I've just missed it? 

Like, I'd like to be able to telnet to the filer, login as root
and do:

cd /vol/vol1/
mkdir foo
rm -r bar
cd /vol/vol1/homes 
chown fflintst:bedrock fflintst

etc.
