[HowTo] Getting started (Firmware upgr, Storage, Samba, SSH)

[JaJoah]

Just a tip for people who have problems getting things working:

I my situation, I couldn't get SSH working, because the port 22 wasn't visible on the outside.

It appeared to be the following problem: My post-firewall script wasn't executable. After I made it executable, everything works fine!

Making a script executable:
type 'chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall'

Michiel

that's not the case here ... both post-boot as post-firewall were made executable.

An other thing I've just noticed is that after a while (as in: after an hour or so) the thttpd shuts down Anyone had this problem aswell ?

Ow, and I disconnected the webcam as it utilized the cpu quite heavily (50% to 96% at peaks).

I always used Samba file sharing on my WL-500gx box to use offline files. This works fine, but in Windows Vista the synchronization fails. I don't exactly know what is happening, but I get the following errors in the SMBD.log file:

smbd/nttrans.c:map_share_mode(443) map_share_mode: Incorrect value 100000 for desired_access to file

I heard that older Samba versions are not compatible with Vista. Has anyone a compile up-to-date Samba binary for the WL-500gx? I am curious why a very old Samba version is used. Is it true that the WL-500gx is not capable to use Samba 3?

[UPDATE] I just read on The Filing Cabinet that you need at least Samba v3.0.22 to be able to use Offline files with Windows Vista. I guess using Offline files won't be possible in the near future.

Does anyone have the correct configuration for this to work?
