[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[skylin3d]

I have the same problem, it says like this:

/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon: /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon: 36: /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config: Permission denied
[admin@asus root]$ ps axf

Usage: ps

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]$

[al37919]

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.

My Compliments for this very helpfull Tutorial!!

But i have 2 strange things.

First i had a problem with Cron

The problem is: after a reboot, i have start cron myself.
i did many times, the CRON part, but everytime, after reboot, and pressing ps axf. He didn't show it:

  115 ?        S      0:00 [kjournald]

after each reboot, i start it manual by typing cron

so i could go on with the tutorial.

But at Part 9. TRANSMISSION (The torrent Client)

i have a prolbem at the end. the problem is by typing:
192.168.1.150:8008/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi

i get the message:

Kan geen verbinding maken     

Firefox kan geen verbinding maken met de server op 192.168.1.150:8008.

*   Misschien is de website tijdelijk niet beschikbaar of overbelast. Probeer over  enkele ogenblikken opnieuw.

*  Controleer uw netwerkverbinding indien u geen enkele pagina kunt laden.

*  Verzeker u ervan dat Firefox toegang heeft tot het web als uw 
     computer of netwerk beveiligd is door een firewall of proxyserver.

that's dutch for:

Cannot make connection
Firecox cannot connect the server on 192.168.1.150:8008


Can you help me with these 2 problems?

If your wive can bring up the patience again

I hope,

greetings Emiel

wengi

yes Im sure. there are 3 partitions exactly. ntfs is working under win xp, there is no bad sectors on it.

[wengi]

@Arbadelli

First of all: It seems that i missed your post. Sorry for the late reply.

Your problem ist rc.unslung!! The script is not executed.

- cron is not working
- syslog is not logging to /opt/var...
- busybox httpd is not running with transmission webinterface.

Check your post-boot if rc.unslung is started.
Check the content of rc.unslung
Make sur rc.unslung is executable

There is something wrong with your partition table.
I recommend deleting the partitions and recreate them directly on the asus.

wengi

[Arbadelli]

WENGI VIELEN DANK!!

Thanks for your answer!
No problem it was a day later, it gives me more time to think about it

Now i have solved the problem down here ( How? use in the webinterface a password, if you leave it blank, then it doesn't work!)

Now, i have a little problem with 10. SAMBA2

i have done that one, and when i use ps axf everything is running well, but when i put in 192.168.1.150:901 ( in web ). He cannot make connection:

401 Bad Authorization
username or password incorrect

I think i have problems with logging in. or the IP or your following text:

You should cutomize the IP settings as you need them and exchange "user = root" with admin -> "user = admin".

This is my script:

service swat
{
        port    = 901
        socket_type     = stream
        wait    = no
        only_from = localhost 192.168.1.1/24
        user    = admin
        server  = /opt/sbin/swat
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable =  No
}
~ 

My homenetwork ( maybe interesting to know )

the modemcable goes to my Linksys WRT54G

i connected 2 pc's with this one, and one UTP cable is going to 1 LAN port of my Asus WL500gp. In another LAN port i plugged another UTP for one pc ( so, i can see if the router has got internet yes or no )

the WRT54G ip is 192.168.1.1
the WL500GP ip is 192.168.1.150

My username to get with web or putty in is admin
( i changed the password, as you said in your tut)

so, how does my vi /opt/etc/xinetd.d/swat has to look like?

I tried many things, but i think not the good one.

thanks for your help offcourse

[alex.bumbacea]

this firmware can be user with download master?
LE: *used

[wengi]

Hi,

no, the oleg firmware does not include the download master.
(If this was your question, 'cause it is not that clear)

wengi

[calebz]

DM wont work on oleg.
You need transmission to download torrents.
Its better than DM but you need to put some time into configuration
