echo "192.168.1.1 my.router my.WL500g WL500g" > /etc/hosts

2) I believe there are 2 ways, 1 is adding an Unix user, use Oleg's full busybox, and execute "./busybox adduser". Alternatively, you can use a samba user file, locate it in /usr/local/samba/private, file name is smbpasswd. You might need to create it on another box running linux (Hi knoppix....)

3) What ya mean with change the path. You can create shares with different path with the smb.conf file.

4) disable ramfs... edit /init/boot. see http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=359

Hi all
as a complete newbie, i've been able to upgrade to Firmware 1.7.5.9-3, and through trial and error I've got running an external USB 40GB HDD (in a USB 2 generic box) with samba, and have 4 shares (1 read only), but I can only get access as the admin user. I'm using Mac OS X 10.3.4 and can ftp happily to the USB drive with Transmit ftp. I've looked into the above quoted message to add extra users (I have two OS X machines - a powerbook and an iBook - that I want to share this HDD) and busybox does not have the adduser option, and as for the other option - I would not know where to start. I could live with both machines logging in as admin, however, it would be much better to have admin plus two user accounts. Any help/pointers greatly received.

PS I bought the router because of it's advertised Disk and Printer sharing, but never knew I could do so much with it - great work!

A WIKI page on Samba installation/configuration can be found here: http://wiki.wl500g.info/index.php/PackageSamba

I am sorry to open this discussion again. Samba runs fine with Oleg's firmware when one follows the wiki page correctly, but I had to move to OpenWrt firmware (I needed ospfd badly)

Now I miss Samba quite a lot there. When I try to copy nmbd from Olegs firmware and copy it by FTP to my OpenWrt it just gives this error after execution:
Bus error.

I tried to upload via FTP the compiled file on the wiki page. However that samba acts a bit differently than the one in Olegs firmware. Mostly the default path for logs and confs is different, but I was able to manage that.

Now, I use the sam conf file as before, nmbd runs as a deamon, it becomes browse master, but the clients are unable to get the browse list from that samba.

So I am wondering why is it not possible to take the binary from Olegs firmware and put it to OpenWrt? I think the downloadable compiled version on Wiki page is buggy, but Olegs is fine. Could someone recompile the samba for me please? I'd really like a working browse master server, because there are some people in my network who become browse masters, but have their firewall configured badly and so browsing get broken now and then. Working nmbd could fix this in a second.

any help is very appreciated

I don't think that will work as openwrt uses probably different uClibs. I bet you'll have to recompile it for openwrt yourself.... Perhaps openwrt kernel also misses the USB stuff, so you'll have to compile that in too.

Oleg will be able to tell you more about it...

I was just amazed that the binary on wiki pages can be executed on OpenWrt fine, only catch is that it doesn't work properly, but I think that this version wouldn't work correctly even under Oleg's fw.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I use modded OpenWrt by jaha2x for Asus 500b/g which has USB support and stuff :p
http://puma.spojovaci.net/~jaha2x/wl500/openwrt/
the list of present libraries is at the bottom of the page

Compiling is what I am afraid of :) I'll need a step-by step help here. Oleg, can you advise me? Thanx

From the log od the precompiled samba I can see this:
Name query from 10.107.3.90 for name JNET<0x1b>
Name query from 10.107.3.90 for name JNET<0x1b>
Name query from 10.107.3.90 for name JNET<0x1b>
Name query from 10.107.3.90 for name JNET<0x1b>
Name query from 10.107.3.90 for name JNET<0x1b>
Name query from 10.107.3.90 for name JNET<0x1b>
Name query from 10.107.3.77 for name JNET<0x1d>
OK 10.107.3.65

JNET is workgroup
IP 10.107.3.90 has WinXP
IP 10.107.3.77 is another Samba

looks like this precompiled samba is really broken. The one in olegs fw was OK.

Which custom firmware you've used before?
Yes, binaries from custom firmwares will not run with openwrt - they're using different uclibc version.

I used almost every one you made :)

The one I had there previously was 1.7.5.9-5, then I moved to OpenWrt. I dont know what uclibc is, but if you tell me what command should I type on a linux box to compile the samba for OpenWrt, I would be very grateful.

Well, you can grab 1.7.5.9-5 sources and check the Makefile. It contains everything you need. Just check for target called samba.
At the moment I do not have openwrt toolchain compiled, so can't compile it for you.
You could probably ask jaha2x to compile samba using stuff from this Makefile.

Did you find a solution running samba under OpenWrt ?
