[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[apostrophe]

wengi

I've reinstalled everything and xinetd is now running and using SWAT 'Status' page I can see smbd is 'running' and nmbd 'not running'.

log.nmbd shows

When I try to browse with XP explorer I see 'ASUS' under MSHOME but when I try to browse I get '\\ASUS is not accessible' message.

Thanks

Hi,

the files of the codepages are missing. Very strange!
Here is the listing of my codepages:

Please recheck these files on your system.

Also post the result of

cat /opt/etc/ipkg.conf

My /opt/lib/codepages/ is emtpy too.
Where can I find all this codepage files ? I use samba3.

I do not know what I did different but I cleared everything and started again. Samba2 and everything else is working. I will move onto Transmission soon once the samba drive is fully configured. Thank you for your advice and patience.

I have no idea about smaba 3. Dont use it. But a reinstall should fix it _if_ these files are in the ipkg package.

wengi

EDIT:
You can download the ipkg package and extract it. Windows: e.g. use Winrar

Hi all,

i updated to the new Version of olegs firmware following chapter 16 of my howto.

One single problem:
My WL-HDD was not responding after step 4. So i pulled the plug after 30 mins and then it worked fine.
Following my Howto after that and all went fine.

You need to substitute the real time clock driver!
The HowTo is updated.

wengi,
Thanks so much for your tutorial! An MS Geek can't do it without the help of you and marcesium.

And Oleg, thanks for the great firmware. It's why I bought this router!

[alex.bumbacea]

how can i get a report daily about loggin hours on ssh?

[Serpent]

Simplest way is:
cat /tmp/syslog.log |grep dropbear

[wengi]

Hi,

only to correct it. The path to the log is different if you installed with my howto:

[admin@blechbuechse root]$ cat /opt/var/log/messages | grep -i dropbear
Jan  1 01:00:08 post-boot: starting dropbear:
Jan  1 01:00:08 dropbear[93]: Running in background
Jan  6 10:24:47 dropbear[3496]: password auth succeeded for 'admin' from ::ffff:192.168.1.21:1148
[admin@blechbuechse root]$

wengi, it's a good idea to put a symlink:

ln -s /opt/var/log/messages /tmp/syslog.log 

Then you will be able to see log from the web-IF, and the above statements will be correct.

[wengi]

This is indeed a very good idea!!!
Didn't think about it until now.

Thanks

Hi all,

I made a little change in the syslog config.

There are two lines added to /opt/etc/init.d/S05syslogd:

# remove old syslog.log
rm /tmp/syslog.log
# add symlink so log is available at old location (e.g. for webinterface)
ln -s /opt/var/log/messages /tmp/syslog.log

/sbin/syslogd -m 0 -O /opt/var/log/messages -S -l 7

Background:

syslog is now linked to /tmp/syslog.log.
In result the syslog is viewable in the webinterface again.

Howto is updated
Thanks to al37919 for this.

Hi Wengi,

Have just finished re-setting up my asus wlg500p with a USB WD Passport 250GB.

I wanted to replace the old USB harddisk (which worked for a year - no problems) with one that needed no external power supply.

Anyway, I was revisiting these forums and just wanted to thank you again for all your great posts - they are excellent!
