i have managed to start samba and stuff, but now i have a problem...
i can acces the share$ folder, and i can copy stuff from it, but i cannot write/erase enything in windows?!?!
Can anyone tell me whats going on?
I have all the settings in smb.conf like it should be, so i really dont know why this thing dosent work!?!
Anyone?
Fresh :(
Thanks a lot hezik for this howto, ssh and samba work like a charm.
If only everything was this easy...
Great post, but it looks like I haven’t got a /post-boot dir.
When I try: “echo "/usr/sbin/smbd -D" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot” I receive the following error message:
-sh: cannot create /usr/local/sbin/post-boot: Directory nonexistent
Any ideas?
(firmware: WL500gx-1.9.2.7-6b)
post-boot is a file.
Make sure you use a recent firmware from Oleg and then execute (if the /usr/local/sbin dir doesn't exist):
- flashfs enable
- mkdir /usr/local/sbin
- touch post-boot
- touch pre-boot
- touch post-firewall
- touch post-mount
- flashfs save
- flashfs commit
Can't get the samba share working, what's going wrong?
I did try this tutorial to enable a samba share at my external usb harddisk, but i can't access it through a share. What's going wrong?

What is going wrong? It look to me that Samba is not started, but howcome?
Any help apriciated.
Tnx,
Roland
Already did try some more things, with the same result, it looks again that Samba is not starting. I followed the above tutorial, and also try the tutorial from www.macsat.com
This is my post boot file at the moment:
[admin@(none) root]$ cat /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
#!/bin/sh
dropbear
mount -t ext3 /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt
mount -t ext3 /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /tmp/harddisk
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part2
# remove audio module
killall waveservermain
rmmod audio
rmmod soundcore
# And printer
killall p910nd
killall lpd
killall infosvr
rmmod printer
# start Samba
/usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
Please help, got stuck....

well, thanx alot:mad: . this howto won't let my router be reachable anymore....
it boots, but i can't reach it by 192.168.1.1 and can't get internet to. so i plugged the wan cable direct in my pc and internet works again....
but the router not.... i pushed the resetbutton several times and now i unplugged the powercable with the hope of a total reset.
i've got an 500gdeluxe with oleg's 1.9.2.7-6b
HD: a WD 160GB in a sitecom md200 (old version) casing formatted as EXT3 as 1 big partition, works with ftp but has appearantly a 2GB filesize limit since uploading of 2GB< files always failes. WHY??
what i did:
i put this in smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
guest account = nobody
security = share
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = no
log level = 1
max log size = 100
encrypt passwords = yes
dns proxy = no
and saved it--> \\192.168.1.1 gave "incorrect path" in windows so samba didnt work (yet)
then i added this to smb.conf:
[ext3]
path=/tmp/harddisk
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
force user = admin
then i did this:
echo /etc/smb.conf >> /usr/local/.files
and this:
echo "/usr/sbin/smbd -D" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
echo "/usr/sbin/nmbd -D" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
this first didn't work since the sbin directory didn't exist. I created that and the postboot with some other howto from this site.
and last:
flashfs save
flashfs commit
flashfs enable
reboot
what did i wrong to make my router not reachable anymore and why did't samba work????
You don't write what modifications did you do with your router except samba configuration. Without this info it is not possible to say why is your asus not routing to internet. Definitely it is not caused by samba.
For your samba "problem" - it looks like you didn't make the post-boot script executable and forgot to put #!/bin/sh at begining of the file :eek:
You can fix it with following commands:
I presume you have only 2 lines in post-boot right now. If you added other lines to your post-boot, just add the first line using vi editor.Code:echo "#!/bin/sh" > /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
echo "/usr/sbin/smbd -D" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
echo "/usr/sbin/nmbd -D" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
flashfs save
flashfs commit
flashfs enable
reboot
i already did a full reset and now the router is working fine. i dont think i'll try samba again unless i know exactly what i'm doing,Quote:

Hi! I've been working on a configuration as described in this thread, but I'm running into difficulties. Could someone please help?
I have formatted my usb drive as described, with a big fat32 and an ext3 partition. On the command line I don't see any problems. But these drives don't work properly in Windows.
At first, I got it working. But when I started editing the name of the shared drive and the names of the shared folders, things went wrong. Now I can't see any drive in my network neigbourhood. All my XP machines give an error messages: "Windows - System error / A duplicate name exists on the network"
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks for your help! ye, Michiel.
What do you mean byPerhaps now you have 2 computers with the same name on net, therefore you have also the error messageQuote:
editing the name of the shared drive
Quote:
"Windows - System error / A duplicate name exists on the network"
I have solved my problem with "Windows - System error / A duplicate name exists on the network".
The machine name of my router was the same as my workgroup name. After I changed the name of my router, this message was gone and I could see my workgroup again.
Now i'm just struggling with users and passwords, so I'm one step further...
Thanks for your help, Michiel

Get_Hostbyname : Unknown host (none) .
Get_Hostbyname : Unknown host (none) .
No interface found for adress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (I don't know what is this adress, it's not IP adress of my router, it's not IP adress of my network and it's not my internet IP !)
Get_Hostbyname : Unknown host (none) .
In /var/log/nmb

Unable to get my hostname - exiting.
What is hapened ? What can I do to repare this? please help me

Okay,
I managed to get SSH, WWW, Samba and RRD working but got stuck with the VSFTPd.
When I installed VSFTPd, I just couldn't connect to it (LAN side). It refused connection every f#cking time. I tried to shutdown the HDD and then reconnect it (as mentioned here)
but this didn't solve the problem. It stayed unreachable. So I've given up on that and gone back to stupid-ftpd for now.Quote:
...One of my readers have brought to my attention, that after following the guide, the ftp server kept rejecting him to login. He then reconnected his harddrive, and after that it worked. Maby worth a try if you are having problems getting it to work....
Any insight in what went wrong here is appreciated.
I use the 1.9.2.7 -7e with Samba
it goes well with a disk USB but in the Windows explorer I have:
- my first partition named “fat32” and inside the second partition “ext3” show like a repertory “part1” !!
- my second partion “ext3” and inside also I still have a repertory “part1” which is the copy of “fat3”!!
How could I avoid that? I followed your tutoriel exactly…
Still a second question pleaqe: how I can mount a second disc USB on the router ? and how I must declare it in smb.conf?
when I connect it on the router, I see it well like:
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
thank you very much of your assistance.
Just a tip for people who have problems getting things working:
I my situation, I couldn't get SSH working, because the port 22 wasn't visible on the outside.
It appeared to be the following problem: My post-firewall script wasn't executable. After I made it executable, everything works fine!
Making a script executable:
type 'chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall'
Michiel
that's not the case here ... both post-boot as post-firewall were made executable.Quote:

Hi,
thats my smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
guest account = nobody
security = share
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = no
log level = 1
max log size = 100
encrypt passwords = yes
dns proxy = no
What should i do, to mount my USB Stick. Its formatted with Fat32. Sry but dont have much knowledge in Linux.
Second question: How can i start the nmbd and smbd at the Routerstart?
I did it like here, but it doesnt work. Thx 4 help. Sry 4 my bad english ;)
I always used Samba file sharing on my WL-500gx box to use offline files. This works fine, but in Windows Vista the synchronization fails. I don't exactly know what is happening, but I get the following errors in the SMBD.log file:
smbd/nttrans.c:map_share_mode(443) map_share_mode: Incorrect value 100000 for desired_access to file
I heard that older Samba versions are not compatible with Vista. Has anyone a compile up-to-date Samba binary for the WL-500gx? I am curious why a very old Samba version is used. Is it true that the WL-500gx is not capable to use Samba 3?
[UPDATE] I just read on The Filing Cabinet that you need at least Samba v3.0.22 to be able to use Offline files with Windows Vista. I guess using Offline files won't be possible in the near future.
I have problem with connect HDD to my WL500gP ,samba is running ok I have a laptop with winxp home edition .With ftp is HDD working ok.(ping to router is ok too).
Another laptop is with win xp profesional HDD working very good as ftp and as network HDD.
Here are attached configurations my samba and error window.
Thanks.
Hi all, does anyone can help to allow NTFS write permission with 500gP ? As i lost everything and not able to recover when using ext2. : (
thanks a lot
