    3) Also if you don't have a webcam attached you can put this in the post-boot
    Code:
    rmmod videodev
    4) Lasty why isn't this a sticky yet, this goes along gr8 with the macsat tut
    Hi,

    1) it will not be slower. *mbd will only start when you access the share. Thats all.

    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

    charset problem with transmission

    transmission downloads files OK
    at least I can see them with ls command

    Code:
    drift_USA_JAP.torrent.seeding
    ÐÑиÑ
         Ñ Ð¯Ð¿Ð¾Ð½Ð¸Ñ Ð¿ÑоÑив Ð
    but samba shows only .torrent files and no .avi

    Right now samba works with russian symbols OK - i can write them from XP client and see them by SMB and on Asus with ls command in appropriate way

    my smb.conf

    # Samba config file created using SWAT
    # from 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2)

    max log size = 50
    load printers = No

    I don't remember whether I did the oleg's instructions but i guess i did

    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.

    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
    Code:
    #!/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;
    and S97Samba
    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
    I don't know if this is a my mistake, but moving samba service from initd to xinitd, I had to remove both file.

    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:

    Code:
    Using username "root".
    Authenticating with public key "MyAsus"
    Passphrase for key "MyAsus":
    As you can see is asking me my Passphrase instead of a complete autologin. Is this normal ?

    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...

    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:
    Code:
    [admin@blechbuechse init.d]$ rmmod videodev
    rmmod: videodev: Success
    Strange..

    Something strange happens running Samba2 with xinetd.
    I also use xinetd for vsftp, and everytime i close an ftp session, vsftp disappear from running processes immediately, this doesn't happens with smbd and nmbd, even if I closed my last SMB connection about one hr ago...

    About WizD, I've take a look to the startup file... too complicated for my knowledge

    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:

    log.nmbd shows....

    [2007/11/16 23:43:34, 0] source/nmbd/nmbd_responserecordsdb.c:find_response_record(235)
    find_response_record: response packet id 14764 received with no matching record.

    and log.smbd...

    [2007/11/16 23:43:30, 0] source/smbd/server.c:main(791)
    smbd version 2.2.12 started.

    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.

    Hi,
    i am not sure if htis will work. Please disable the orig. samba in the webinterface. Then uninstall and reinstall samba2 pck. Just to be sure that nothing from the firmware is running. S80samba should be started automaticaly.

    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.
