Hi, Oleg. Its possible rebuild new firmware for wl500gx with new samba without install to /opt directory (externall usb disc)? Samba implement for latest firmware v. 2.x is old and very bugy! New version samba is 3.x.
Thanks!!!

[oleo]

Samba 3 is big and will not fit in 4MB flash. But I think that historical samba 2.2.12 could replace 2.0.10-security-rollup

[njosef]

OK! please replace samba v. 2.0.10-security-rollup to 2.2.12. Very thanks!!!

[oleo]

Hehe. Oleo in not Oleg;

[njosef]

Aaaah! ok! :-)

Really? Which bugs do you mean?

Do you expect something special from newer samba?

There are problems with older samba versions and Window Vista, see:
http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4434907782.html

[Oleg]

Fortunately, there are two ways to fix this problem. The first is just to force Vista to use the NTLM protocol as well as NTLM2. To do that, use these commands:

Click "Start -> Run." Then, type in the Run field: "secpol.msc." That will bring you to Vista's security policy system. Once there, use "Go to: Local Policies > Security Options" and then find "Network Security: LAN Manager" authentication level. Once there, change the Setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated."

Upgrading to 2.2.x does not make any sense anyway.

My problem is, when connect from linux (kernel 2.6.17 - DreamBox) with cifs to wl500gx (samba). I have create directory ok, but not create files (file 0byte). When i am upgrade samba (/opt) to version 3.x its works perfectly. Iam not using NFS!!!

This error wl500gx log:
smbd/nttrans.c:map_share_mode(443)
map_share_mode: Incorrect value 40000000 for desired_access to file \testfile.txt

I wanted to install opensuse 10.2 via a samba share on the WL-500gx running samba 2.0.10-security-rollup (OpenWrt Kamikaze), and had the same problem.

After the system was up installing from DVD, same problem accessing files from via a manual mount of the share and various applications.
But: Accessing files via KDE/Konqueror and the "Network Neigbourhood" did work (Create dir, create text file, edit file with Kate, save file).

Strange...

HI Oleg,
1)thanks for your work- it's great
2)I have problem with btime because btime in /proc/stat is changing without reboot or halt system. Btime isn't static until next reboot. Is it usual thing or bug this kernel?

thanks

It looks like Samba 3 is too big for all "swapless" routers. For this reason I have prepared Samba 2 packages with Samba Web Admin Tool which will ease config and admin for samba newcomers. SWAT interface looks like:
SWAT globals

SWAT STATUS page

Installation and running samba 2 is done out of the box by the following commands:

/opt/bin/ipkg  update
/opt/bin/ipkg remove samba
/opt/bin/ipkg install samba2
/opt/bin/ipkg install xinetd
/opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd start
/opt/etc/init.d/S80samba start

Point your browser to http://192.168.1.1:901/ to administer samba.

See http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/5271 for details.

Hi Oleo,
thank You for your work. I'm a poor Vista-Home-User and have no 'secpol.msc' to run the old Samba-Version.
Can you please give a short 'How-to'? I've installed and updated samba2 and 192.168.1.1:901 shows now the samba-web-config.
But at status-Site: smbd: not running, nmbd: not running. The 'Start'-Buttons do not activate them.
Vista and Win-XP shows my USB-HDD, but I have further no access to it (now with XP, too). What's wrong?

[oleo]

I would first look to disable samba demo mode. Then see if there is something bad happened with /opt/etc/S80samba start

[hanseugen]

Ok. Samba demo mode and shares are disabled.
On telnet '/opt/etc/init.d/S80samba start' results with 'Starting smbd:' and with 'Starting nbd:' .
