[fredibau]

Are there som funktion to make back/restore of my config settings in
you'r new custom firmware ?

I need it.

Asus firmware don't have the option on the webinterface.

Maybe you have som tip via telnet to do that.

Hi Kfurge.
How can we customize this file. Several packages need this (imap, saned, ...)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

As Asus did not provide such function, I don't think that KFurge will be able to do that. I know however that the other firmwares as open wrt (kamikaze etc) do have such functionality.
Meanwhile, looking around in /tmp with telnet, I noticed a file 'settings' that I copied to my home directory, and it seems to contain every setting I can see in the web interface. However, this file disappears also irregularly.
I don't think it will serve as a restore possibility, but you can find your settings in it. The /tmp directory contains many more files with settings. For instance, nas.lan.conf has your WPA-password.

Marc

Use "mount -o bind" to mount another /etc over the top of the existing one. I put making /etc/services a symlink on my todo list for a future release.

The only thing I haven't worked out yet with CUPS is how to access the web interface from the local LAN without first having to establish an SSL connection via PUTTY and tunnelling in.

Glad CUPS is working for you. I have it working on my router as well. Not sure why you can't connect to it, though. I have no problems connecting to mine (192.168.1.1:631) from the LAN.

I have still my problem with NFS, and nobody has reacted so far. Buh. Still waiting for some other Linux user that wants to try NFS...

I use NFS to connect my Linux box to the router all the time. What's not working for you?

No thanks to Kfurge.

No problem.

Thank you Kfurge for the work put into your version and the great tutorials on installing it. As I am an experience idiot with Linux I have followed your tutorials and all is good.

One problem though is that i cannot write things to the internal drive when using windows explorer and the network devices windows finds. It says I do not have the right.

I worked out the "cp" command and attached an USB drive to the router and copied files that way, without needing sudo.

So why can I not copy them the old (new) way from a computer and windows networks.

The directory permissions are probably not right. If you are not too concerned with security, go right above the directory that's being shared and type:

chmod -R 777 ./YOUR_DIRECTORY_NAME

This will set wide-open permissions on the primary directory, files, and subdirectories and set all files are readable and writable by anyone.

Yes my linix command crash course has led me to the chmod command. And I have done exactly what you have said only worse: I did it all the way along.

chmod -R ugo=rwx /shares

but still no luck.

OOPPPPS you need to reboot and then the above worked. Ok if anyone would like to give me a little hint about which directory I need to give permissions to and which I can reverse to what it was like before?

Please guide me.

Hmm, this is not the right place for such things I'm afraid. Maybe you could ask DARBID what he did to do the linux crash course?
Try Google with Linux newbie or Linux commands or so.
I found this for instance:
http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/html/lnag.html#6.Linux%20Shortcuts%20and%20Commands|out line

You really can benefit from some basic understanding.
Start with:
ls (= dir)
ls -all
man ls
cd
pwd
