DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Umm, not sure how to do this...

When I unpack the tarball on a windows machine, I see a whole directory tree with files, similar to what's already in /ffp.

I'm assuming that if I just unpack it on the 323, I might overwrite the ffp that's already there. Should I just copy manually all the files into the right folders on the 323? Or is there an untar command line switch that does this?

Jim.

ps, thanks for the files, I've been wanting to update and re-configure samba for a while now!

Guys... That's a funplug package. Do:

funpkg -i samba-3.4.5-1.tgz

Would Bob Blackwell maintain compiling new versions of samba for our devices? There is new 3.4.6 build with some important bug fixes.

I see a few things of interest in this build thus I'll commit to compiling 3.4.6. It may take a few days to make room in my schedule but I should have something ready for Sunday.

fonz If I'm able to post the build here as an attachment would you add it to your collection thus making it available to everyone?

rcblackwell, thank you for your work. That would be great, if you will provide a new build, because there is a bug with 3.4.5 and printing in win7x64 (which is fixed in 3.4.6). Temporary I added to the conf file:

disable spoolss = Yes

and printing with this parameter works fine in x64 clients, but I don't know how it affects on stability or performance of NAS.

p.s. If this is not difficult for you, could you give us some instruction (e.g. log of your bash input) of compiling process? It is very interesting for me to know which parameters you set to be able to compile this package, to have the opportunity to recompile new versions or change some components by my hands.

For the most part I follow instruction found at http://dns323.kood.org/howto:subversion:fun_plug_native when building packages for my DNS323. With a couple of changes to the PV configuration file I'm able to build the appropriate package. In this case Samba 3.4.6. I have the package built and will be passing it along to fonz as soon as I find a means to do so; the size of the package exceeds my ISP's package limits. The build was performed with these config options;

--sysconfdir=$CPREFIX/etc
--localstatedir=$CPREFIX/var
--with-piddir=$CPREFIX/var/run
--with-fhs
--with-libiconv=$CPREFIX
libreplace_cv_HAVE_IPV6=no

For those interested the build logs attached.

Thanks, Bob.
Your package can be downloaded from here: http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0. … -packages/

fonz was kind enough to acquire then post the necessary Samaba files for all those wishing to utilize such. They're available at the link listed above.

fonz: Thank you for assisting.

Already tried. Seems to require fstab.h which I'm pretty sure is a Glibc only thing.

I've managed to install the Samba funpkg... I also went into /ffp/start and did a chmod a+x on samba.sh so it runs at boot. Do I need to disable the old samba daemon in the Gui, or does this funpkg effectively replace it upon installation?

You will need to kill the old samba.

On /ffp/etc/fun_plug.local, at the end I inserted:

echo "* Stopping Samba Services"

/bin/kill `pidof nmbd`
/bin/kill `pidof smbd`
sleep 3
echo 'swat 901/tcp' >>/etc/services

fun_plug.local, if it exists, will be sourced by fun_plug, I think it must be set executable.

Mektub, I notice you add SWAT to the services. Does it actually work? I've added the line as well, but it doesn't seem to work. I also tried running the swat command and then connect, but nothing. Anything I'm missing?

Yes, it works, and very well. You will have to connect to it through your browser like this:

http://dns323:901/

or

http://192.168.1.22:901/

Where the IP is the IP of your DNS323, or a symbolic name if you have some kind of name translation.

For this to work, since swat is started by inetd, I have inetd installed, /ffp/start/inetd.sh is set
to executable, and /ffp/etc/inetd.conf has:

swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /ffp/sbin/swat swat

Possibly you could start swat as a standalone service in the DNS323 instead of through inetd, but I didn't explore that path.

Decided to give 3.4.6 a whirl on the DNS-323. Seems to be working fine.  Am I correct in assuming that copying the native DNS-323 smb.conf file over to the /ffp/etc/samba directory and using SWAT to maintain it is all that is needed?  I did need to add my users and passwords in through SWAT before I could access the shares under 3.4.6.  But other than that nothing unusual.

I finally got the latest 3.4.6 working with the same functionality I had before on the default firmware version of Samba. I definitely do not have those crazy 100% CPU problems anymore.

Few things:
- Where is the location of the smbpasswd file? It doesn't seem to be present at /ffp/etc/samba/private/smbpasswd as seen in the SWAT interface.
- I added a new user from /usr/sbin/samba/smbpasswd -a <username> (In case there are any people out there who have been looking for it)
- Where is the log file for Samba?

Problems:
- Audio and Video now do not stream nicely over CAT5E cables. Videos will play for a few minutes before stopping (can't resume playback, as if the resource disappeared and then reappeared seconds later). Audio has constant cutting out. Audio player reports: "Network resource unreachable" randomly through a song, then starts playing the next song.

Could that be a problem with the HD possibly failing? SMART says both of my drives have "PASSED". Whatever that means.

I'm still on FW 1.04, DNS-323 (B1), using Windows 7 x64.

Thanks for the release!
