Custom 1.0.7.8 firmware is ready to download

[mumsoft]

Yes my linix command crash course has led me to the chmod command. And I have done exactly what you have said only worse: I did it all the way along.

chmod -R ugo=rwx /shares

but still no luck.

OOPPPPS you need to reboot and then the above worked. Ok if anyone would like to give me a little hint about which directory I need to give permissions to and which I can reverse to what it was like before?

Brrrr. Ok, the hint. /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/<your choice>
Because you took /shares you have changed the rights for all there is. Apart from starting all over I don't think it's easy to revert your changes.
But maybe someone pops up with a script to do so.

Dear KFurge,

Can you tell why the Asus takes so long to reach the point where the ready light blinks? It takes a mere 3 minutes. Is it busy to check the filesystem, or what?
Also, is it possible (in the next relaese) to get rid of the first telnet deamon? It is unsafe, and it confuses many people when 'you' start the safer version. This counts more because it takes so long to boot.
And why is the ready light on, long before it executes my rc.local? What does ready mean here?

Ok, questions you might not know answers for, but I'll appreciate it if you have some.

Another question. When I log in as myself (admin), I have KCSHELL as variable, because I made a .profile in /opt/home/marc. I also did this for root, that has /opt/home/root as home dir. Now with sudo bash -l I have KCSHELL as root. But, you guess, after rebooting the home-dir of root is changed to /, no .profile is executed, and hence I don't have KCSHELL after sudo bash -l.
I found that /opt/etc/init.kc/fix_passwd.sh is to blame...

I don't know why it wont let me login anymore
when i try to login to root using sudo bash -l
i get
Password:
admin is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
[admin@WL700gE /]$
??? any reason why this could be happing?

I checked my sudoers file and it seems fine

[admin@WL700gE /]$ vi opt/etc/sudoers

# %users localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now

I have no clue how one day i can't just login anymore? But if i login as "root" and type my web interface password everything works fine. login as: root
root@76.206.254.162's password:
[root@WL700gE /]$

___
I just can't switch from admin@WL700gE to root. ? any thoughts on this would be cool.

Not an expert here. But I think you miss the ALL-part (and some defaults).
If you log in as admin (you'd better change this, make it you first name or so, and CHANGE the default password), admin is not listed in the sudoers file, so it can not do this.
Maybe I changed my sudoers file way back:
ls -l /opt/etc/sudoers
-r--r----- 1 root root 1180 Mar 4 2007 /opt/etc/sudoers

Thinking this over, it might be a good idea to replace ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL with something like marc ALL=(ALL) ALL. But I must stress that I'm not an expert. I always use su in Suse as a (nasty) habit.

I have a problem with installing Twonkymediaserver.

I have a Wl700ge Met Kfurge 1.0.7.8 Firmware.
Every time i want to start twonky i get the messages "premission denied"
Also it is not possible for me to delete a directory/file using browse shares.

What am i doing wrong?
How do i get full controle over the Wl700ge ?

Here is a exaple of my telnet session.

[admin@WL700gE /]$ ls
apps foreign_shares proc usr
bin lib sbin var
dev mnt shares www
etc opt tmp
[admin@WL700gE /]$
[admin@WL700gE /]$ cd shares
[admin@WL700gE shares]$
[admin@WL700gE shares]$ cd MYVOLUME1
[admin@WL700gE MYVOLUME1]$

First, admin is not root. You should login as root, or sudo bash -l to get root-rights
Second, why did you put twonky in the standard share directory? I have installed mine in /opt/share/TwonkyMedia, so that it is not reachable with smb. That's more save. If I recall, I just unzipped twonkymedia-mss-4.4.4.zip, and in my rc.local I have:

 #Start Twonkymedia, needs original library_path
 /opt/share/TwonkyMedia/twonkymedia &

 export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:/apps/lib:/apps/usr/gift-nasoc/lib
 export KCSHELL=/opt/bin/bash

If you mean that you try to do this via SMB sharing, then it has to deal with SMB security of the Asus, of which I don't know anything.
Anyway, with SMB I can delete stuff in the standard directories (music, photo etc), but not in others.
But if you telnet to your asus, login as root or become root (sudo bash -l), it will make all things possible. Remove with

rm -R /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/Twonkyvision

I assume you have KFurge custom 1.0.7.8 firmware running.

I manged to delete the directory the way u said...
by using "rm -R" command.
thnx.
and on the asus its for mee also possible to delete filles in the photos, music, video dir.... but when i am in MYSHARE1 not possible only with, telnet. ?

Fullback,

All you need to do is add the information in red to your sudoers file and it will work. login as root and then change the file.

I seem to be having a recurring problem with the passwd file on the new firmware.

I cannot seem to get the opt/home/username to work with pbsa access?

My question is it possible to have the system running on password based access and to be able to use dropbear for logging in through putty?

If i use pbsa the system overwrites the passwd file and I cannot log in.
I have noted from previous threads that there is no __pdc file either which looks odd.

I have been able to set up system as either psba or usba but I wonder is it possible to have a bit of both??

Hi, I figured it out, seems to be with the firmware, had it downloaded for a while reflashed a new one and all is well

[Rick]

I made a mistake last night, and now i am not able to loging using telnet

(none) login: admin

Password:
Login incorrect
(none) login: admin

Password:
Login incorrect
(none) login:

this is what happens when i use putty.....
hoe do i recover from this problem , i tried to install the fimware again , with no luck......
also tried to flash to 2.0.0.7 firmware and back again, but no luck either..

is there anyway to login and maybe change/delete the password list/file ?

Hi, did you read this post:
http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=88249&postcount=142
so you might have to edit /opt/etc/init.kc/fix_passwd.sh

What mistake?
The (none) part should be the name of your asus, default WL700ge or so. But it is only set after a long while after start (> 3mins)

If I were you, I should try to switch from PBSA to UBSA or vice versa, maybe that helps.

Marc

Thx for replying so quickly but unfortunatly it did not help....................
I have read some where that u can press the copy button to select a diffrent start up script but i did not get lucky to do this.......

But when i instal firmware 2.0.0.7 i am able to telnet to the router.
but when i go back to kfurge 1.0.7.8 i still have the same problem.

any other good ideas ?
