Samba and Firmware 1.9.2.7-RC3

[Arobs45]

Good morning you all !

I really appreciate this forum, and every day I am more and more suprised by all the new functions of this router... I've started from nearly 0 !!!

Now in the RC3 issue of the OLEG (that you man !) firmware, there is this Samba enable thing.
Previously, I tried to enable it "by hand" to make some tests. I got the error message of the image and thought it was due to my unknow of Linux and so on...
But I still get the same message with the Samba option of the RC3...

The problem is :
When I try to connect to the shared drive with \\192.168.1.1, it asks me for a guest password... (see picture) I have no idea of what it can be...

Question :
Someone knows what I can do ?

Thanks very very much !

Regards

Hello jf,

Your smb.cfg is not correct. You have probably set it to user security. Using user security needs to set up smb account using smbpasswd.

I suggest you to use security=share for now, then try to set up your users if everything is ok. The user must exist in passwd file, and smbpasswd file.

Hugo,

I have not setup any smb.cfg file. That's why also I am surprised to see that.
I just use the EXACT configuration, as provided in the Oleg's firmware...

Has anyone else tried this ?
I would appreciate the feedback !

I don't have any problems with it, but I use a already mapped drive letter

try using \\192.168.1.1\share or \\192.168.1.1\share$ instead please, and see if it helps

The configuration supplied with the firmware is an example, which does not nessesarily works. You'll have to reconfigure it yourself (probably change the user root to admin).

[Oleg]

Styno, 1.9.2.7-3 has this in the web interface, so this configuration should work.

do you've flashfs enabled?

[Arobs45]

Oleg,

As I told you, I am really newbie!
So I have put like it is in the firmware... I don't know if flashfs is enabled or not...

Would that change something ? Is that not by standard when I upgrade the firmware ?

[Oleg]

So I have put like it is in the firmware... I don't know if flashfs is enabled or not...

So, it's disabled for sure.

It should not ask you for password. Have you specified LAN hostname?

[Arobs45]

What do you mean by LAN Hostname ?

I have a standard home network, with no domain server...
The default workgroup is WORKGROUP

The router is set on WORKGROUP on the Samba page

The router name is "MAISON" and when I cmd "ping maison" it pings to 192.168.1.1 (correct IP).

So ?

Thx a lot !

What do you mean by LAN Hostname ?

There is a setting on the IP config page of the wl500g

I have a standard home network, with no domain server...
The default workgroup is WORKGROUP

The router is set on WORKGROUP on the Samba page

The router name is "MAISON" and when I cmd "ping maison" it pings to 192.168.1.1 (correct IP).

Have you tried entering

\\maison\share

in the Run command box?

[Arobs45]

When I hit \\maison\share in the Run Dialog box, it asks exactly for the same password....

I'll check later the IP Config thing later (I am not connected to my router for the moment) but I don't remember changing something there...

Thanks for your help anyway !

ok, if still does not work, then establish telnet session
and type

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/smb.conf
cat /var/log/smb

and post results here. Also, be sure, that wl500g runs in home gateway or router mode.

[Arobs45]

Oleg,
here is some part of the answer :

The routeur is in the "Home Gateway Mode".

The host name in the IP settings is set to "Maison"

The cat/etc/hosts gives :

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 Maison my.router my.WL500g

The cat/etc/smb.conf

[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        guest account = nobody
        security = share
        browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        guest only = yes
        log level = 1
        max log size = 100
        encrypt passwords = no
        preserve case = yes
        short preserve case = yes

[share]
        path = /tmp/harddisk

The cat /var/log/smb give

Empty !

If that can help you to help me !!!! Thanks a lot !
