What would you add to a 1.0.7.8 firmware image

[kfurge]

Yes, i want ftp from the LAN side, but there's no possibility to close FTP to WAN by the webinterface, so I (must still) manually delete the rule from the input-chain after every reboot

Thank you for the information. If it's possible, I'll keep my image from opening up this huge gaping security hole.

Regarding your manual delete rule, I have a similar problem where I want to add a rule for ssh access. You might be able to modify the following script to kill the offending line and plop it into rc.local, outside of any checks that limit execution to just at power-up.

#!/opt/bin/bash

lines=`/usr/sbin/iptables --list | /opt/bin/grep dpt:ssh | /opt/bin/wc -l`

if test $lines -eq "1"; then
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
fi

FYI, rc.local gets called at boot-up and any time the configuration changes.

what do you have on your list so far?

So far, from the original list, I have the following complete:

All of my patches applied (cpu load, entropy, etc.)
HDD spin down (fixed first, then configurable)
Workable command line environment (bash, ipkg, termcap, tz, busybox, default profiles, etc.)
Dropbear
Replacement BT client (MLDonkey)
Cron
Updated Samba

I think it'll be finished this weekend. The following will be coming in a subsequent release:

CUPS to replace printd
Updated mt-daapd
Web server (lighttpd)
Separate web interface for enhancements

- K.C.

Looks awesome, can't wait! I've been running stock 1.0.4.6 for too long!

Hi kfurge,


are you able to add your list RRDTool Graphical IP Accounting tool? I think it would be very useful. Thanx.

Sorry, I don't think so. I think this is too specialized a tool to be in a general image where "ROM" space is precious. Fortunately, you'll be able to easily expand the basic distribution to add additional application packages.

Very impressive. Especially the updated samba will be nice, i have been trying to install a new samba and kill the old samba process on my router, and well, lets just say that was not really a success. As i wrote in the MLDonkey thread, i am really looking forward to your next firmware, and thanks for all your work - Asus should hire you ;-)

Hello! I new user WL-700gE also have not had time to feel all delights of yours firmware. All I wait for release 1.0.7.8! The main question when?

P.S. Machine translation.

If you take a look at some of the posts above, you will see that he wrote:

So i guess its just around the corner ;-)

"It's coming... Just putting some final polish on it."

Yes... Very, very close. It's working pretty nicely. Once I get the BT ports ironed out in the other HOW-TO thread, I need to confirm that it's shutting down OK on the serial console, put some basic instructions on...

... then upload.

Ok stupid question, does MLDonkey support BT encryption? i ask cuz I'm a comcast user, and we all know how they love un-encrypted BT traffic. :P

I haven't seen an option for enabling encryption, and i think encrypting the traffic would be pretty hard for the box's CPU ;-)

I thought the same thing, but it was worth the ask.
