View Full Version : Need some help
I read the tuotorial, but i've never used linux before. I installed the latest custom firmware and i would like to configure samba to work with an usb hard disk. Can anyone help me with a step by step procedure for stupid people like me?
thanks
Davide
The tutorial is like a step-by-step procedure allready. You need to do stuff in Linux to get it going, so there's 'some' knowledge required. Read the tutorial a coupple of times and try to understand whats happening. Then execute the steps one-by-one, then if all goes well: Bob's your uncle m8!

Just a few questions.
First step. Initialising the demons... I read:
Add the following lines to the /usr/local/init/post-boot script:
/usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
How do this. Should I use VI?
Second step. Save it to flash fs:
flashfs save
flashfs commit
A question. With the latest custom firmware is my wl500g already in the Flashfs-boot method??
Third step. Editing /etc/smb.conf. With VI...right? Save it to flash fs.
Last question. I'm having trouble using VI is there a method to edit this files with for example notepad and then post it wl500g?

If you like it. Or just these commands:
mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin/
echo "#!/bin/sh" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
echo "/usr/sbin/smbd -D" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
echo "/usr/sbin/nmbd -D" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/post-boot

If you read wl500g carefully, then you will notice, that flashfs is the only way to do this, and yes it's always use falshfs as described in the bootup sequence
Third step. Editing /etc/smb.conf. With VI...right? Save it to flash fs.
Sample /etc/smb.conf is already there.
