How to start samba daemon automatically after reboot

[newbiee]

I've changed /etc/smb.conf for custom shares. Then I issued:

echo "/etc/smb.conf" >> /usr/local/.files && flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable

Now everything works as I want. But when I reboot the router, the /etc/smb.conf is loaded with default values.

So according to: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?10...0936#post60936 I made the custom changes again, save&commit&enable, disabled samba via webinterface and made a save&restart.

After restarting the custom settings in smb.conf stayed the same, but the shares are no longer working - looks like samba daemon is not running. How can I start it manually? Or where should I enable it?

Go to the web admin of oleg firmware. You can configure samba under "USB Application -> Samba"

Every time the router restarts, a fresh configuration file will be generated, and thus these settings you made will be lost.
You could also try installing optware samba, also mentioned in wengi's tutorial.

Is it possible to configure SAMBA via web interface to use advanced security as described here - http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?31...-login-by-user ?

sure, for samba 3 a standard config is this:

[global]
	netbios name = Router
	guest account = admin
	server string = Router
	guest ok = Yes
	workgroup = MSHOME
	os level = 255
	interfaces = 192.168.2.1/24
	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

[movies]
	comment = Movies
	path = /tmp/mnt/disc0_1
	read only = No

Only thing you need to do is add the user security etc.
I recommend installing samba36 from ipkg (you have ipkg right?)

ipkg install samba36

configuration will be placed in /opt/etc/samba
