Apache 3.0 on WL-HDD+1.9.2.7-7e

[raz]

I've recently installed 1.9.2.7-7e on my WL-HDD. It is very impressive and, particularly because it solves my WPA-PSK-TKIP-as-client problem, which the Asus firmware does not solve, I love it.

I do have a problem though; I have a couple of devices (notably a Hauppauge MediaMVP running mvpmc) which use the Linux CIFS (but not SMB) implementation. Amongst other things, CIFS uses GENERIC_(READ|WRITE) for file access, but Samba 2.0.10 (i.e. that which is included in 1.9.2.7-7e) doesn't implement this. Samba 3.0 is known to work, Samba 2.2 is suspected to work.

Has someone written a HOWTO for getting Samba 3.0 (or at a pinch, 2.2) to work in this setup?

Samba 3.0 is here:

Thanks macsat, I've copied that ipk onto the device, but I'm not entirely clear on how to use it (ipkg.sh, obviously, but umm... unwritable /, missing dependencies, ...). Before I walk through the various random guesses that I've made, is there a HOWTO somewhere on a workable way to make use of .ipks in this environment?

Great instructions, thank you. I now have a new problem, but I'm not the first:

[admin@wlhdd /opt]$ etc/init.d/S80samba start
Starting smbd:
Bad system call
Starting nmbd:
[admin@wlhdd /opt]$

This appears to be essentially the same problem as this one: http://www.macsat.com/macsat/compone...prev_next,next
Any thoughts?
