    Question Oleg firmware/Samba 2.2.12 and OS X 10.7.2 Lion - No more Samba ?

    Is there a way to continue using installed Samba 2.2.12 on my WL-500W with Lion ?
    The disk appear in finder but I'm not able to mount it.
    It seems a lack of Samba support in the latest Apple's OS, still working fine in 10.6.8.

    Thanks

    perhaps you need the new samba? samba 3?

    you have to remove the old samba2 and swat, remember to backup your configuration file
    ipkt remove samba2
    ipkg install samba36
    it's can't recommend swat for samba 3 on oleg... it has a tendency to mess things up a bit

    you can install it with this if you really want to.
    ipkg install samba36-swat
    a little configuration sample on /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf
    Code:
    [global]
            netbios name = Router
            guest account = admin
            server string = Oleg router
            guest ok = Yes
            workgroup = WORKGROUP
            os level = 255
            interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24
            username map = /opt/etc/samba/user.map
            domain master = Yes
            hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24
            encrypt passwords = yes
            security = share
            dns proxy = No
            wins support = true
            preferred master = yes
    
    [share]
            path = /tmp/harddisk/myshare
            read only = No
    Notice the ip addresses. use it the same way as above, otherwise you might have some discovery problems like I had in the beginning
    also make sure that "guest account =" your actual admin account: admin or root or whatever you use

    if that doesn't help... I don't know what to do either, I don't use any apple stuff so yeah...

    Thanks wpte for your reply.
    I hope I can stay with Samba2, I think v3 is too much for my router.
    I'v found an interesting article on Apple support about DHCAST128 UAM drop in Lion that could solve my problem.

    Not tested yet, but I'll try it.

    Thanks wpte, the solution from Apple doesn't work, but the upgrade to Samba3 does the job.

    Are you able to start Samba3 from xinetd just like for older version ?

    I see that you have resolved the issue by installing samba3, but I would like to post the simplest answer to your problem, without removing samba2.
    the trick is in te samba.conf file:

    For winXP and OS X until 10.5.x:
    encrypt passwords = can be anything between yes or no

    For Snow Leopard:
    "encrypt passwords = yes" - mandatory, or you may have to change your OS x settings..

    Best of luck,
    Ed

    Thanks Ed for reply,
    I had pass encryption in my samba 2 configuration, and all worked fine until I updated from Snow Leopard to Lion.
    With Lion I can't connect to MyAsus until I upgraded to Samba3.

    Samba in client mode

    Hi all,
    Please I need help with one thing.
    I own two routers Asus 500gP v1, both recorded my Oleg 1.9.2.7-10 firmware.
    I have one router in AP mode (classic wifi network) and the other is connected to the network wirelessly mode client.
    Both Asus, I opened a Samba in this manual.
    Code:
    http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?28537-Oleg-firmware-Samba-2-2-12-and-OS-X-10-7-2-Lion-No-more-Samba
    In both ASUS running Samba services, the administration 192.168.xx: 901 normally get. The Asus AP mode, I normally shows the location on the network without problems, but the second mode Asus client in my network, just not displayed.
    I do not know where I can make a mistake. I do not know if the error in the smb.conf file, or if there is something wrong in the section set in the Global Web rozhraní.Nejsem not sure if the section does not set up a Global IP address, default gateway, or. Router IP address and IP address of the client. ??
    The same problem I had with a basic Samba implemented in firmware.

    Does anyone have experience with the operation mode Asus wl500gP Samba client??
    Thank you very much for any advice and help!

    New finding

    Hi all,
    I found out that samba has nothing to do with client mode.
    New finding: nmbd does not start the process !!!!!!!!!!!
    I set the smb.conf file, but again I did not show a place in the network.
    I opened the settings 192.168.xx: 901 status and I found that my nmbd is not running, even though I entered in the telnet "ps", so there I run 2x process smbd, nmbd, but there is not.
    In setting the Samba web interface I started nmbd and lo and behold, instead of the network has shown everything works as it should and even telnet after entering "ps" show me the running process nmbd.
    It is interesting that after manually start / opt/etc/init.d/S08samba, or / opt / etc / init.d / rc.unslung or just process / opt / sbin / nmbd, or / opt / init.usb , so I start nmbd process, but when INIT.USB initializes the router reboots, so all processes will run smoothly and smbd, nmbd, but does not start automatically.
    Even when you add a line to INIT.USB / opt / sbin / nmbd does not start, but busy, yeah.
    In short, the process of rebooting the router nmbd will not boot, but when run manually boots up just fine.
    Very please advice what it could be.
    Thanks a lot.
