Hello Joao,

as written many times I am a glad youser of your great firmware Alt-F 0.1b7. I run it without any problems and like it very much. i have already flashed the Alt-f 0.1RC2, but because of issues with user access rights to the shared directories I went back to 0.1b7. Probably it was not related to the firmware but to my very limited Samba experience.

Have you edited /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the line

   passdb backend = smbpasswd

in the Global section? I.e., somewhere below the line [Global] and before the next [whatever] line?

Samba 3.5.9 uses by default a different user authentication method, one has to tell him to use the "classical" one.

When will you release Alt-F 0.1? I am very eager to test and use it )

In the forge now
But you will not notice many apparent differences from B7

Please keep the support for DNS-323 alive. Even you intend to buy a DNS-325 in the near future, I still rely on and like my DNS-323. This is not DLink's merite but yours!

Thank you very much in advance!

Tom

Thanks.

Is there an advantage to going to samba 3.5.11?  Or even move up to 3.6.0?

I don't think so, those are generally minor security releases.
But once 3.5 is working it is not difficult to upgrade within patch versions.

3.6? I don't think so. Putting 3.5 working was difficult enough; its library, alone, is 1MB bigger that the equivalent 3.3 library. And there was not 1MB available on the box, imagine!
