The $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables won't stick outside of rc.local.
To fix that, install bash and make /opt/bin/bash your shell then add the $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH lines to the .profile file in your user directory.

I know there is probably a simple solution to this but:
I don't think my rc.local is working properly. I installed it the way KC discribed in the firmware upgrade. But whenever i log into TELNET i have to type in:
export PATH=/opt/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
in order to use Screen or enhanced-ctorrent.
I have my Rc.local in /shares/MYVOLUME1/
This is the coding in my rc.local:
-----
#!/bin/sh
pool=`nvram get apps_pool`
share=`nvram get apps_share`
internal_hdd=/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
if [ \! -f /tmp/rc.local.done ]; then
# Indicate we've already done this
touch /tmp/rc.local.done
#
# Mount /opt and connect in various system files
#
if [ -e /shares/${pool}/opt ]; then
mount -o bind /shares/${pool}/opt /opt
cat /proc/mounts > /opt/etc/fstab
ln -s /opt/etc/shells /tmp/shells
ln -s /opt/etc/fstab /tmp/fstab
export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
fi
# Start utelnetd on local interface only!
/apps/bin/utelnetd -i br0 &
fi
/opt/sbin/cron
/opt/sbin/syslogd -m 0 -O /opt/var/log/messages -S
/opt/sbin/thttpd -d /opt/share/www -c /cgi-bin/* -p 8008 -u root

I installed bash, however when i restarted my router i can no longer log into telnet. Putty pops up for a second and then closes. I figured i messed up on the rc.local and tried to install the asus firmware then back to KC's and apply telnet hack and i still cannot log into router. What am i doing wrong, i didn't setup a password but my rc.local in directory /shares/MYVOLUME1/so i can't delete it. Please help! Is there anyway to scrub HD and start from scratch, i tried holding down reset and nothing, i also tried ezsetup and nothing. I can only log in through FTP and windows interface.
Thanks

To fix an rc.local problem:
1. reflash with asus firmware
2. Apply telnet hack
3. Telnet in and delete rc.local
4. reflash with custom firmware
5. put working rc.local back on

Thanks, it worked. Your a life saver
You could also use the poor-mans telnet enable hack... for quick fixes
1) Enable (or re-enable) the built-in web site
2) Modify the index.cgi in the shares/MYSHARE1/web/Layout_English/index.cgi and add "/apps/bin/utelnetd -i br0" (minus the quotes) to the last line and save (use the appropriate editor)
3) Direct your web browser to the website (usually http://<ip>:8081)
4) Telnet to your hearts content (and fix your rc.local)
5) Make sure to remove the added line to index.cgi (or disable the website or whatever).
Easier than a re-install when it works (saved me about a week ago).
Could you please tell me what the appropriate editor is? I locked myself out of my shell (stupid I know), however, I cannot get this telnet hack to work for me.
I use linux to get to the files (through nfs), but when I edit a .cgi file the editor messes up the ownership. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to change this back to 0:42000 (as it should be).
As a result I get the source of the file displayed, in stead of it being parsed. So I'm still locked out. (A very safe situation, although it isn't the one I was hoping for...)
How did you stop this ownership change from happening?
Or is there an alternative? For instance, is it possible to reset the WL700 in such a way that it erases the rc.local file? Reflashing (at this moment) doesnt affect it at all.
Thanks for any suggestions.

on Windows i'm using TextPad editor www.textpad.com
which is able to keep unix linefeeds automatically
had the same problemI locked myself out of my shell (stupid I know), however, I cannot get this telnet hack to work for me.

if you want to use the index.cgi-hack (/shares/MYSHARE1/web/Layout_English/index.cgi)
it works best with ftp-access
if you first delete and then copy a new version of index.cgi,
then the execute permissions are lost (at least when using my ncftp client)
better is to edit the index.cgi file first and to overwrite it,
then the permissions are preserved
to correct the premissions, i've created a user with full access to ftp,
ftp'ed in with this user account. change the working directory to
and the just run from your ftp clientCode:cd /shares/MYSHARE1/web/Layout_English
Code:chmod 777 index.cgi
originally i wanted to set the permissions of my /shares/MYVOLUME1/rc.local
which i forgot before i commented out utelnetd
for this purpose i added the following command to the end of the index.cgi file
then browsed to my Web-page once and restarted the WL700gCode:chmod 755 /shares/MYVOLUME1/rc.local
which corrected the permissions, fixed and works
