Hi all,

i am having some issues with oleg firmware 1.9.2.7-8 and samba on my network.

basically it doesn't work and according to the logs it appears to be failing because it can't open a socket. does anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Hi,

I just installed the same FW. I configured SAMBA using the webinterface (USB Application/SAMBA), and that worked for me. The disk is shared and available using Windows Network under wl-hdd/share. As this works, I didn't bother configuring Samba using the .conf file, so I can't help you there.

The "code" below shows my settings, that's all I did.

USB Application - Simple Samba File Sharing 
Enable Samba Demo mode?  Yes
Access Level:  Read/Write
Workgroup name:  MSHOME

The smb.conf this results in is in the "code" below.

[admin@wl-hdd etc]$ cat smb.conf
[global]
        interfaces = br0
        bind interfaces only = yes
        workgroup = MSHOME
        server string = WLHDD
        guest account = nobody
        security = share
        browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        guest only = yes
        log level = 1
        max log size = 100
        encrypt passwords = no
        preserve case = yes
        short preserve case = yes

[share]
        path = /tmp/harddisk
        writable = yes
        force user = admin
[admin@wl-hdd etc]$

My Windows version defaults to the workgroup MSHOME, other versions default to WORKGROUP.
