Hi kfurge,
thx for your hint -I did not manage to do it this way but found another:
after installing the original firmware all looks fine again.
Now - of course - I'll install yours again :)
Best regards and keep the good work up,

Hi again,
I posted recently regarding issues with very slow printing. Given the lack of response I'm guessing that others aren't having the same problems, so I've started looking some more on my own.
My latest step has been to install the ASUS 1.0.7.8 firmware, thus losing all of the niceties of the KFurge (02) customisations.
Whilst I haven't tested the printing yet, the first thing I've noticed is that the overall performance of the box has improved dramatically. Browsing the internet is far more responsive. I ran the top command (not the nice one that kfurge provided unfortunately), and noted that the available memory was about 3.5MB. top didn't report the process names, which was a pain, so I don't know how much CPU upnp is using.
Will continue looking, though any suggestions are welcome. If printing works OK tonight, I'll put the KFurge version back in without any additional packages to see what happens then.

Maybe you should copy your /opt to /shares/MYVOLUME1/opt, as described here:Quote:

See if that helps.
I have made and deleted a user yesterday without a problem. It also lets me specify to which shares the new user has access.

Did you have a look here?Quote:

I don't use a printer with the asus, but my the overall performance with the custom firmware is far better than in the 1.0.4.6 times.
Also I don't have UPNP running. Don't need it.

Works OK on my router.Quote:

No thanks to Kfurge.
i don't think that is the problem Marc.. I had covered that step when I followed the instructions on that website when I upgraded from 1.0.4.8 to 1.0.7.8..
Like I said.. I've had that problem even when I had the custom 1.0.4.6
It's weird. But you do have a work-around: install the original Asus firmware, create shares & users like you wish, install the custom firmware. Then you have both, although you won't be able to create another user.Quote:

Also, if you create a superfluous testuser with the original firmware, are you able to delete it with the custom firmware?
Do you have similar passwd files as I have:
If I create a user, the /shares/MYVOLUME1/__pdc/passwd file is altered, and that is reflected in /tmp/passwd and /etc/passwd that are only links.Quote:
[marc@Sneeuwwitje home]$ ls -all /etc/passwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 31 2001 /etc/passwd -> /tmp/passwd
[marc@Sneeuwwitje home]$ ls -all /tmp/passwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Mar 2 13:10 /tmp/passwd -> /shares/MYVOLUME1/__pdc/passwd
Happy debugging :o
Marc
hey thanks buddy!.. I think that worked.. I installed the factory firmware.. created the users.. and then I over-wrote it with the custom firmware..and then i was able to manipulate the users.. like add and delete..
Thanks a bunch for your help!!.. regards..
now that I have a username with full access.. when I log in from terminal services.. I can only log in as root.. and not with the username and password that I created... Is that normal???
Ha, that's very nice to hear. I was just guessing for you, only if I guess for myself, it never helps.Quote:

Now, your problem is over, but we don't know what the culprit was...
Anyway, enjoy
Marc
No. But (again) what is the message? Did you create a home directory for that user? Is that reflected in /etc/passwd? What happens, if you do, after logging in as root:Quote:

In my passwd I have:
marc:-passwordgarbage-:35000:42000:marc:/opt/home/marc:/opt/bin/bash
and I have created /opt/home/marc.
See, questions, questions.
happy debugging
Marc
No, I hadn't seen the response there. I have been watching it but obviously not actively enough.Quote:

I'm now back to running the 1.0.7.8 (custom), and have no idea beyond the suggestion to install CUPS, which last time I looked, seemed quite involved in it's setup.
Thanks though.
Ok, so I haven't fixed the original problem. I still don't know why the default print deamon is performing so badly with 1.0.7.8, but I can report that after an hours work with the latest version of CUPS (thanks for the suggestion KFurge), I now have it running, and printing at speeds that are more than satisfactory.
The only thing I haven't worked out yet with CUPS is how to access the web interface from the local LAN without first having to establish an SSL connection via PUTTY and tunnelling in.
Printing works a treat. When I get a chance in the next week, I'll write up the steps I took and add them to another thread on this forum that has a great deal of discussion about getting CUPS running.
Thanks for your help.
