i have ffp installed, as i was using it orginally, i never deleted it so to get back to it i just change back the fun_plug from fonz, and carry on were i left off in ffp


I still can ssh/telnet into my nas, its just in the debian environment. I mainly went the debian root because the optware version of sabnzbd is well out of date!

so what can i do? is this possible in the debian environment?

edit: if theres a way to get sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato and headphones running their latest versions on ffp, im more than happy to go back to that, but as it stands i cant find away to do it unless im in debian

Try adding the following into fun_plug file, restart NAS and edit the mod_smb.conf found in /root folder and reboot again. Hopefully it will work.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

# Root DISK1
export DISK1=/mnt/HD/HD_a2
export DISTDIR=squeeze


# copy original native smb.conf into debian /root folder
[ ! -f $DISK1/$DISTDIR/root/mod_smb.conf ] && cp /etc/samba/smb.conf $DISK1/$DISTDIR/root/mod_smb.conf
[ -f $DISK1/$DISTDIR/root/mod_smb.conf ] && cp $DISK1/$DISTDIR/root/mod_smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf
smb restart


cd $DISK1

mount --bind $DISK1 $DISTDIR$DISK1
mount --bind / $DISTDIR/mnt/root
mount --bind /dev $DISTDIR/dev
mount --bind /sys  $DISTDIR/sys
#mount --bind /sys/crfs $DISTDIR/sys/crfs
#mount --bind /web $DISTDIR/web
mount --bind /proc $DISTDIR/proc

cp -f /proc/mounts $DISTDIR/etc/mtab
rm -f $DISTDIR/etc/fstab
touch $DISTDIR/etc/fstab
cp -f /etc/resolv.conf $DISTDIR/etc
hostname >$DISTDIR/etc/hostname
cp -f /etc/hosts $DISTDIR/etc

$DISK1/$DISTDIR/boot/chroot $DISK1/$DISTDIR /boot/linuxrc

[albert]

You're most welcome, glad to know that the problem has been resolved.

Regarding the beer treat you're just too kind, actually I also learn something new along the way.

Hi guys,
I am bring this thread back from the dead because I have been trying to find some way to force my DNS 320 to become the master browser on my home network in the simplest way possible.  My attempts to find a solution have failed.  I tried and thought I successfully installed ffp 0.7 and have been able to SSH into it but from this point on I am lost.  I should say I am a total noob to linux.  Initally, I looked for the smb.conf file but could find none nor any samba folder in my ffp directory.  Later, I then tried the install debian squeeze thinking I could then follow the thread to a solution.  A total failure, I think because all the files and directions I used were for ffp 0.5 not 0.7 that I have installed but I am not even sure of that.  Anyway, if any of you have a way that a noob can follow, I would appreciate your guidance.  Thanks.

[albert]

@cable2, have you sorted out your problem? If not, I will look into as the solution given will not work for you.

[cable2]

Thanks Albert,
I know you are the guy for this.  My goal was to force one of my 320's to become the master browser.  I have been using the trial and error method without much success.  At this point, I have installed ffp 0.7 ( I believe) and nothing else, i.e., no packages are installed.  I would like if possible to just use ffp with whatever package is necessary to enable the samba service.  My assumption is that I can then try to proceed with your initial directions and somehow make this 320 the master on my home network.  I have done several installs of ffp and at one point think I had debian squeeze installed but I don't want to go the debian route unless absolutely necessary.  I hope I made myself clear.  If it's not too much trouble for you I would appreciate your knowledgable assistance.

There is no need to install Debian, the main requirement is to get FFP installed and working (ie. able to gain shell access via telnet/ssh).

Next, edit (create if not exist) fun_plug.local located in /ffp/etc folder. I personally prefer to use Nano editor, install this FFP addon if require.

Add the following codes into fun_plug.local and made sure that the file permission is set to executable (ie. 755, use ls -l to verify).

Code: [Select]

# Enable NAS to be local Master Browser
sed -i '/local master = /s/no/yes/' /etc/samba/smb.conf
smb restart
For some reason I keep getting error when testing if the NAS had indeed became the Master Browser using the LANscanner as mentioned by TS. But if I verify this using nbtstat, it show up correctly so give it a try and feedback.
