Don't know if it's my problem (I'm a stupid user sometimes :D) or is a bug or something. Just in case anyone gets in the same problem as me... :D
Arise,
I had a similar problem. It seems that copy-pasting from a webpage to Putty doesn't always work well. Some of my post-boot code was missing when I pasted it to putty from this tutorial. Only found out after a few reboots, of course :(
Missing parts in pasted content is mostly a result of the following:Quote:

Wengi, thank you for your great tutorial. I've decided that it is the most detailed and started using it for connecting my usb hdd with 500gp.
Unfortunately, a have a problem after this steps:
# test if USB disc has been attached
# if not - then insert needed modules
#
# uncoment the following 4 lines if using an USB HDD.
#if [ ! -d /dev/discs ]
#then
#insmod scsi_mod && insmod sd_mod && insmod usb-storage && sleep 5s
#fi
#Wait for /opt to mount
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /opt
i=0
while [ $i -le 30 ]
do
if [ -d /opt/etc ]
then
break
fi
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /tmp/harddisk
# Activate swap
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part1
# Run all active services - active means starts with S
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung
I wrote it in VI editor after pressing 'i' and i saved it with :wq command.
I use 500gp like a router, so after those steps I make a command to reboot:
flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot
And then Putty says that "Fatal error (connection lost)"
I try to connect using SSH again, but also Fatal error appears (writing "network connection refused")
And i only can connect to 500gp using telnet or web.:( And when i run telnet, swap is not activated and driver is not mounted (so, startup script don't work i think) although all steps before i did according to your tutorial.
After that, i've refreshed the firmware and did everything again, but the result was the same.:confused:
Help me solve this problem please...
P.S. excuse me for my english: i've haven't any practice for a long time...
So, i've solve the problem myself: there were some mistakes in my post-boot file.
But i still have one question: how can i establish connection to my router from any place with internet. I have a real IP and using Putty thought SSH, it can't connect to router. May be i should open any ports?
Hi Hreks,
"Fatal error (connection lost)" is normal when you reboot the router.
Normaly the network connection is also droped.
Due to the Asus also is running DHCP (i suggest) all should be ok after you request a new ip (in windows: ipconfig /renew).
But good to see that you managed it yourself :D
SSH is using port 22. You have to open this port in your firewall and/or forward this port to the local ip adress of the asus.
you can also use a different port (e.g. 222) and redirect ist to 22 on local ip.
This prevents ssh scanning, which is often done in the last month.
have fun with your asus
wengi
1) Hi, Wengi, thank you for your reply, but can you give me more detailed answer?
What firewall do you mean, software or in the router?
What does it mean "forward this port to the local ip adress of the asus."
How can i use different port?
And what should i do on the computer, from which i want to connect my router(open any ports?)
Big thanks
2)WoW! I'm very happy) I've configured everything, writen in Wengi's manual. Now i have Samba, and my torrents are downloading! I can't belive:)
Wengi, really your tutorial is the best for new users of 500gp:) only one step became a problem: while activating RTC, it was error: can't create folder, permission denided.
3)And also one question: can i create my media library in \tmp\harddisk or in another folder? actually, i don't understand folders in samba according to the partitions in router, explane me please.
4) One more question: i want to make a web site in the router, considering a real IP, so i don't understand if any steps of your tutorial connected with this topic?
regards, Hreks
Of course! Why didn't I think of that? :oQuote:

I followed all the steps you outlined, but samba isn't starting on it's own after reboot. I can start it manually by running /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba and everything works fine then.Quote:

/opt/etc/init.d/S80samba is normaly started by /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung.
check if rc.unslung is executable and if it is called from your post-boot.
Are the other services (/opt/etc/init.d/S*) running after restart?

http://192.168.1.1:8008/cgi-bin/tran...gi?ACTION=List
so it make no sense why it's not running. I ran dmesg and I don't see any errors in it either.
Hi,
Is /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba executable?
What happens if you run /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba manually?
Pls. post last lines of your syslog (/opt/var/log/messages).
wengi
This is strange. I rebooted it again after I made another minor change, and now it's working. I hate it when things like that happen.
Thanks for the help though! This howto has been a great help.
First of all thx a bunch for the gr8 tut, finally I can get to my smb share without going through sftp and tranmission works so much better than e-ctorrent.
I am a bit of a linux noob though and it might be handy for the rest of you to know that if you can't get a ipkg package (mc), or some dependensies (font libraries for the bt cgi :P), or even if nano locks up (it happend to me faulty ncurses was to blame) just go too http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/.
Find the right package (always select the oleg version if possible) then copy the download link and do this in the terminal:
Or alternatively you can change your unslung package directory to the oleg versionCode:ipkg install PASTE_THE_DOWNLOAD_LINK_HERE
thenCode:nano /opt/etc/ipkg.conf
Don't forget to run ipkg update / upgrade and be amazed how outdated your system is :PCode:src unslung http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
dest root /
But I do still have some question marks I hope you can help me with.
First I mosty use my smb share on the network for storage of my music so that every pc and mac all have the same songs. I haven't tried the optimisation bit yet and would like to know if I do run samba under xinetd will it be slower or something.
Furthermore I would like to get a ftp or sftp running again and was wondering if this can be run under xinetd aswell
Also if you don't have a webcam attached you can put this in the post-boot
Lasty why isn't this a sticky yet, this goes along gr8 with the macsat tutCode:rmmod videodev
Would be nice to know what was wrong/changed.Quote:

2) Yes, you can. You only have to find the right config for xinetd listening on port 21.
3) I never had such a module in my firm...
4) Good question :D

Hi i've bean running with your tut for awhile and i noticed that file transfer rate is much slower with the custom firmeare over samba. VS the ogiginal firmware that asus supplys. But if i use the original firmware i cant get it to work with vista.
Any idea how to speed up access time? Its really slow.
The only way is to stop all other things.
Stopping transmission is most important before copying files over samba.
And running samba with xinetd if you want to use transmission is recommended.
It is not that the orig firmware is faster, it is that you normaly run more services when oleg is installed.
wengi
First of all thank you very much Wengi for this great tutorial, it should be sticked and unified with the one by marcnesium.
Today I upgraded my Wl500gP firmware with the latest from Oleg, so I decided to take a look to your toturial to change something on my filesystem...
Some note after installation:
Installed Samba2, due to problems browsing my USB disk from WinVista.
Now it's ok. Installing via ipkg Samba2 on top of original Oleg's firmware, in /opt/etc/init.d I 've found 2 samba start script:
S80samba
and S97SambaCode:#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "`pidof smbd`" ] ; then
echo "Stopping smbd:"
killall smbd
fi
if [ -n "`pidof nmbd`" ] ; then
echo "Stopping nmbd:"
killall nmbd
fi
#sleep 2
echo "Starting smbd:"
/opt/sbin/smbd -D;
echo "Starting nmbd:"
/opt/sbin/nmbd -D;
I don't know if this is a my mistake, but moving samba service from initd to xinitd, I had to remove both file.Code:#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/smbd -D -l /opt/var/log/smbd.log -s /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D -n myasus -o -l /tmp -s /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf
One question about samba2 on xinitd: at first startup both samba services are not loaded, when I try to access my shared disk, i can see nmbd and smbd running. Are these precesses stopped after some time of inactivity ?
Another question about xinitd: I'd like to run my MediaServer (WizD) using xinitd too, to save memory space. Is it possible ?
A note about SSH autologin. This is how my login appear now:
As you can see is asking me my Passphrase instead of a complete autologin. Is this normal ?Code:Using username "root".
Authenticating with public key "MyAsus"
Passphrase for key "MyAsus":
About modules: in my WL even if not listed by lsmod, videodev is removable to gain some more Kb in memory.
More questions on the way... let me test deeply this new fw/sw combination... :D
Max
Hi,
i have not seen the S97Samba script until now. Maybe this is new with the latest oleg firmware. I could not test this until now. But running samba with xinetd needs both files to be deleted. Maybe there will have to be done some changes to the xinetd files if the conf entries of S97 are required. But i dont think so.
The processes _should_ be stopped after a timeout. In fact i sometimes see nmbd keep on running while smbd is stopped as expected. Don't know why.
WizD should also work with xinetd. But i have no idea which ports are used. This is nothing special to the oleg firmware. Simply search the inet for "wizd AND xinetd". (And write a HowTo if you managed it to work :-))
Did you define a passphrase when you saved the private key? If yes: This is the reason.
I never saw the module videodev. So thanks for the hint. It works:Strange..Code:[admin@blechbuechse init.d]$ rmmod videodev
rmmod: videodev: Success

About WizD, I've take a look to the startup file... too complicated for my knowledge :confused:
Max
Hi,
xinetd works for me with smbd. I never looked at the time when smbd is stopped. But it is possible that it lasts more than one hour.... Windows allways keeps smb connections open...
Does this also work on wl500gx using Oleg 1.9.2.7-7g?
I've followed steps 1 to 10 of wengi's tutorial (with the exception of 9 Transmission) but cannot get Samba2 to work. Neither smbd or nmbd can (ever) be seen to be running.
What steps should I take to solve this? I have a USB drive and a USB Hard-drive attached and both mount ok. Everything else (cron, syslog etc) seems fine.
The embedded Samba will work but I'd like to use SWAT if possible. I've looked through the posts in this thread and others and cannot see what I'm missing.
Thanks :)
this might help:

is this a clue?
Hi,
My HowTo is working with all WL-xxx if there is a oleg firmware for it. Some little things differ, but this is mentioned in the text.
The newest firmware (-8) has some changes but this will be corrected the next days. (RTC ...)
Samba seems to be running. Could you post the result of "ps" or "ps axf".
Thanx
Hi
I stopped the firmware smbd and nmbd with killall and then ran the S80samba script. If I run ps axf immediately you can see nmbd running.

Just tried that. Still nothing. log.nmbd and log.smbd show services started but that's it. No sign that SAMBA is actually running e.g. nothing to see in 'ps axf' or 'top' and ASUS not showing in MSHOME. Any further thought? Should I just start again?
Thanks. :)
Your xinetd is not running. Did you install it?
No xinetd -> no swat -> no config -> no samba.

wengi
I do not know what I did different but I cleared everything and started again. Samba2 and everything else is working. I will move onto Transmission soon once the samba drive is fully configured. Thank you for your advice and patience.
:D
I have no idea about smaba 3. Dont use it. But a reinstall should fix it _if_ these files are in the ipkg package.Quote:

You can download the ipkg package and extract it. Windows: e.g. use Winrar
