yes, it's possible. use /usr/local/etc/hosts in the flashfs.
Hi!
Is it possible to set DNS entries in the WL-500gx router? I have some LAN stations with static IPs (or dynamic IPs based on MAX addresses) that I would like to be known via the 500g's DNS server. I used to do that with my "big" linux router by simply adding those entries to /etc/hosts where dnsmasq (I dunno which dns server the 500g uses) got them.
If this is not yet possible, maybe this goes for a feature request for a custom firmware? :-)

Thanks for the quick response.
can I simply edit that through telnet or do I have to mess with the firmware Image?
A web-Frontend option would be cool for that...
In the same way can we use /usr/local/etc/passwd and /usr/local/etc/group
(for ssh accounts creation for exemple) ?

no, edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group directly and add them to /usr/local/.filesOriginally Posted by David07
Ok thanks, I will do that.
BTW: If one adds multiple user accounts to /etc/passwd, wouldn't it be more secure to convert the system to use shadow passwords?
