Hello,

this is a general linux question.
Have alook at:

http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl5_issue.htm
http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl5_motd.htm

issue is pre-login, motd is post-login.

in web syslog I see, that someone has trayed to connect to my ftp from Apr 20 14:00:20 till Apr 20 14:24:28

how I can block that f*** IP address?
P.S. I don't have username "Administrator" for my ftp.
It would be silly
P.S.S. this isn't first time, when someone is traying to connect.

Hi all,
pls I have still problem with permission denied when i try:

[admin@ASUS_160GB ipkg]$ ipkg update
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...le/Packages.gz
sh: wget: Permission denied
An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors:
ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 127: `wget -q -P /opt/ipkg-4TwonM http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...le/Packages.gz'

[admin@ASUS_160GB ipkg]$ ipkg upgrade
sh: rm: Permission denied
Nothing to be done
Successfully terminated.

I posted here at this thread before (read page 38, posts 559-569) but still have this problem.
I am really newbie with linux so Wengi pls can you write me how to use e2fsck on /dev/discs/disc0/part2??? Dont know how to operate with superblocks etc.
Second dont know if check is necessary because i can create dir on /opt and can copy files in it. So I can write to /opt.

Any idea how to fix this permission denied problem? After finished this tutorial it forks for half year without problems.

Neither I cannot do this if I want any change:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

here is post:

[admin@ASUS_160GB tmp]$ flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot
/sbin/flashfs: /sbin/flashfs: 20: cat: Permission denied
/sbin/flashfs: /sbin/flashfs: 73: [: Permission denied
tar: Removing leading '/' from member names
tar: /tmp/local: Unknown file type
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
/sbin/flashfs: /sbin/flashfs: 73: ls: Permission denied

[al37919]

Something is wrong in your flashfs.
Disable it:

nvram set boot_local=""
nvram commit
reboot 

Then check again, e.g. with

flashfs status 

If it responds, load it without execution:

flashfs load 

and search for the error in flashfs

Related Russian thread: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=18949

P.S. one of the guesses: return LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the default value if it was updated in flashfs

Ehm but I cant read Russian

flashfs status gives me all Permission denied

How can I search for errors in flashfs?

[al37919]

flashfs status gives me all Permission denied

even after disbling it?

How can I search for errors in flashfs?

using common sense --- e.g. comment [or remove] everything and then uncomment file-by-file, line-by-line

[bodvar]

What if...I use a usb flash drive for the swap area, and the HDD only for share files, and attach them both to the router via a usb hub? I guess the HDD would not spin up by transmission then, since the activity caused by daemon (and transmission) goes to the usb flash drive?

Start and stop it manually.
No other way because the daemon hosts the webinterface.

I have the same problem with e2fsck:
my ASUs says:
kernel: EXT3-fs warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended.
so how to use e2fsck?

Thank You
