SMBClient

[Yarda]

Sometimes I need access from my Asus box to SMB shares (SMBClient from Asus), use RPC and so on. So I have compiled SMB tools for this stuffs. Path schemes are compatible with Oleg's firmware. Only 'codepages' directory must go on '/tmp/harddisk/', binaries may go anywhere. You can download it here: http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~skarvada/samba-2.2.12.tar.bz2 Maybe that somebody will found this post useful.

P.S.: Many thanks to Oleg for his great firmware - it thrust my Asus to new dimension. :)

640kB will be enough for everybody, but not for my Asus box!

Sounds very exiting. Unfortunately the link doesn't work :( Can you publish the binaries again?

I'am so sorry for malfunction, but there were some upgrades on department server, the binary is now located at: http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~skarvada/asus/samba-2.2.12.tar.bz2

Have you enjoy it!

Hello again and super thanx for the binary :D
smbclient is just what I've been missing - now the router are just a little bit more perfect!
I'm running Olegs firmware 1.9.2.7-6b
But I hope you can help me with a little problem:
When I want to connect with:

/opt/samba/bin/smbclient //TT-IBMT40/Dokumenter -N
I get this in reply:

can't determine netmask for br0
WARNING: no network interfaces found
Connection to TT-IBMT40 failed
To connect I got to supply the -I option:

/opt/samba/bin/smbclient //TT-IBMT40/Dokumenter -N -I 192.168.1.201
Then I get this:

can't determine netmask for br0
WARNING: no network interfaces found
Domain=[ARBEJDSGRUPPE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \>
Then everything is fine - but is there a way to avoid supplying the IP adress of the computer?

Ups... Just found out:
If I add:

[global]
interfaces = 192.168.2.1/24 192.168.1.1/24
bind interfaces only = yes
...
to /etc/smb.conf everything is fine!
But before I got this in smb.conf:

[global]
interfaces = br0
bind interfaces only = yes
...
Do you know a way to use br0 and eth1 instead of IP addr. in smb.conf?
I've tried with:

interfacec = br0/24 eth1/24
But then I'm told that:

Can't determine ip for broadcast address br0
Can't determine ip for broadcast address eth1
WARNING: no network interfaces found
Connection to TT-IBMT40 failed

But aside from that, thanx again!

Hmm, it sounds like smbclient incompatibility. I will look into sources when I will have some free time and try to patch it. I haven't noticed it yet becouse I am using numerical IP/netmask in my smb configs. Very simple workaround exists: If you need to use interface names, it is still possible to generate smb.conf dynamicaly from post boot script where you lookup interface names from originall smb.conf to IP/netmask and rewrite it back to RAMFS and finally signal SIGHUP to samba.
