I would try to fore samba to listen to br0 with editing /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf
and uncomment
Code:; interfaces = br0
Look into /opt/var/log/samba for content of log files.
Check for running daemons withThere could be other network related problems that can be checked with netstat -lnQuote:
ps|grep mbd
in my '/opt/etc/samba/smb.conf' there is no '; interfaces = br0'.
My conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.3)
# Date: 2007/02/07 07:16:30

ps|grep mbd result:
there semse no running services.
Mh, I think I made any rookie mistake...
So then you have swat running. Use GUI to setOr edit smb.conf and add it! Then try againg to run samba.Quote:
interfaces=br0
And note that log path should exist. You've erased all this settings with SWAT
Interface is now br0 but Samba still not running.
Logfile is set. It shows: '[2007/02/08 08:37:35, 0] source/lib/interface.c:load_interfaces(216)
WARNING: no network interfaces found'
I see my USB-HDD in my Win XP and Vista Network (shows its name Usbhdd). If I doubleclick the message appear: You have not the rights to access to it (free translate from german).
What can i do? Should i wait, till Oleg implement Samba 2.2 in his firmware (hope,hope)? Should I refirm my router with Olegs Firmware and start from the beginnig? I hate Vista home...;-)
ifconfig will show your interfaces. I've assumed that you have wl500g something.
add user nobody or similar to /etc/passwd for guest account.
Oleo, thank you for help. I refirm my router (WL-500gp) and start at the beginning. I study http://www.sprayfly.com/wiki/Samba_Guides (very good wiki) and install samba2 with your describes.
Now it works fine with XP and Vista home.
My mistake: I use Olegs 1.9.2.7-7f and disable FTP-Server in the web-interface. In this case samba don't work and USB-HDD don't mount.
Last qustion: Of course that, should I update the FTP-Server how describes here: http://www.sprayfly.com/wiki/VSFTP_Guides. Or is it unnecessary for samba-services? I use no FTP...
You can mount partition in /usr/local/sbin/post-boot file if samba and stupid-ftpd is disabled ant thus no mount occurs. Disable ftpd , nfs if you do not need them.
Hmm...this is my post-boot:
#!/bin/sh
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt
i=0
while [ $i -le 30 ]
do
if [ -d /opt/etc ]
then
break
fi
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part2
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung
#/opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd start
#/opt/etc/init.d/S80samba start
I think it's okay for auto-mounting. But it works only, if I enabled FTP in the web-interface. And also Samba starts only with ftp on.
This is because your script lacks some important module loading also!
Addat the beginning and wait some seconds for kernel to detect hardware. It could be in a loop but not as braindead loop like one you have.Quote:
insmod scsi_mod
insmod usb-storage
insmod sd_mod
Note that WL-HDD requires other modules FOR ide that I am unaware.
lsmod will show you proper modules.
oleo, you are so right! I do this and all runs stable with xp and vista home. (with disable FTP in Web-interface). Great Thanks! Only one error in Log:
But I think, this is normal (read on web)Code:Feb 9 18:11:38 smbd[197]: [2007/02/09 18:11:38, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2516)

Perhaps for other readers, my smb.conf looks now:

A hint for vista user with this configuration: In Xp you can explore the WL-HDD direct via doubleclick on 'USBDISC' in Network. In Vista 'USBDISC' is shown, but you can't doubleclick. But go on 'Run' and enter \\USBDISC\smbshare.Code:#!/bin/sh

# if not - then insert needed modules

then

hi oleo,
i have tried to remotely install (from my office) the samba2 package on my wl-hdd at home without thinking what i am doing :-O and while downloading the package i have realized i was already running samba 2.0.10 included in olegs latest firmware. the result was: installation process hangs now (and i have to wait until the evening for going home and restarting wl-hdd).
i guess i should have stop samba process before starting installation of samba2 package. but i am not quite sure. so my question (before i have another try this evening): can i install samba2 package on olegs latest wl-hdd firmware 1.9.2.7-7f in order to get the web-frontend for managing samba?
thanks for any assistance
peter
running Oleg samba does not interfere with installation process. Startup procedure also kills .mbd daemons. There could be a problem if you have running samba 2.2.12 daemon and want to reinstall it. Then "Text file busy could occur". For this reason I recommed to killall nmbd and smbd brefor any reinstallation.
good morning oleo,
thanks a lot for your hints. i had no time yesterday evening but today i am going to try again. will let you know the results :-)
many thanks again
peter
hi oleo,
i have tried again to install the samba2 package but no success. just let me describe and comment my steps:
here your walkthrough i was following:
1) /opt/bin/ipkg update
2) /opt/bin/ipkg remove samba
3) /opt/bin/ipkg install samba2
4) /opt/bin/ipkg install xinetd
5) /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd start
6) /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba start
here my attempts:
1) works fine
2) error message - but this is ok as in wl-hdd's firmware samba 2.0.10-security_rollup is already included but not installed by ipkg
3) starts downloading and says "installing to root..." and this is it. i do not get any response from my device for a long time (cannot say how long as i left it alone for several hours). after that i logged in using putty over ssh and wl-hdd was up and running but still no samba 2.2.12 installed.
4) not necessary for wl-hdd as it is already installed
5) works fine
6) /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba does not exist only S97samba exists (which is olegs samba 2.0.10).
i am a little clueless as i am not the linux crack, more a rookie with some theoretical knowledge ;-) and having fun playing with linux (have switched from windows xp to opensuse 10.2 two months ago with a hard cut, no more windows on my hard-disk).
maybe there is a chance to look into some log files but i have no idea where to find them.
any suggestion is welcome
peter
peter,
i think number 2 is your problem. You have not installed samba 2.2 (I think, Oleg has an earlier release with 2.0, which is not vista-compatible.) Try to repeat step two and perhaps try it often. First check, if a proper internet-connection exist.
In my case installing counts about 10 minutes.
