I never configured my system to have a "web_page" share in Samba, yet one appears, containing a HTML file which redirects to the login page for my NAS.  Do I have any option to hide/disable this share?

[gunrunnerjohn]

If you access the DNS-321 with an HTTP request, you will indeed get the configuration login page, that's normal operation.  I don't think there's any way to disable that, and why would you want to?

I would definitely not want to disable the login page.  But, the NAS has a Samba share, "web_page", containing one file "goweb.htm", containing this code:

Code: [Select]

<script>
location.replace("http://[ADDRESS]/web/login.asp")
</script>

It seems useless and I'd rather not have a Samba share for that folder.

Ah ha.  I always wondered why that page was there.

How does that really affect you, I never bother to look in there.

I can deal with it, but would still like to disable it if I had a choice.  So, just wondering if anybody had successfully disabled it.

In my "/etc/samba/smb.conf" file, I have a "web_page" entry:

Code: [Select]

[ web_page ]
comment = Enter Our Web Page Setting
path = /mnt/web_page
valid users =
read only = yes
guest ok = yes

Perhaps it's for the D-Link Easy Search Utility.

Never thought about it, but I'll bet that could be the reason.  I always wondered why there was a silly folder that invoked the web page.

[nguyen_a]

can we delete goweb.htm and if we want to access the login page we key in the line below from the web browser instead?

http://[ADDRESS]/web/login.asp

Another question: if we delete goweb.htm by mistake, can we recover it throughreset to factory defaults ?

[gunrunnerjohn]

I let sleeping dogs lie, I just ignore that folder.

I actually just run the fun_plug Samba implementation, instead of the device's built-in one.  So, no more web_page share for me!

[gunrunnerjohn]

What real benefit do you get from running that version?

I asked myself that earlier and decided that perhaps, I could just live with the built-in Samba server.  But then, I made a manual change to smb.conf.  When I tried to make another change through the Web GUI, it totally hosed the smb.conf file.  I then decided to use the different Samba version so I could control it completely and not worry about having to guess how the device would alter Samba.

[gunrunnerjohn]

Well, that's probably a pretty good reason.  I just use it as-is right now.
