[HOWTO] Update samba (to 3.6.25) using Entware-ng

[Mijzelf]

Have you already tried to access the NAS by IP instead of name?

[darzur]

Hi,

Just installed this update and it seems to be mostly working. W10 reports "Dialect 2.0.2" so although I don't know how to check if it's 3.6.25 it's updated. My problem is that I can't access my shares where I have Recycle Bin enabled. I mean "vfs objects = recycle" that is configured as follows:

Code: Select all

vfs objects = recycle
	 recycle:repository = /i-data/f918fac3/Kosz
	 recycle:exclude = .test.permission.file.*
	 recycle:directory_mode = 0777
	 recycle:subdir_mode = 0777
	 recycle:keeptree = yes
	 recycle:versions = yes
	 recycle:touch = yes
	 recycle:touch_mtime = no
	 recycle:maxsize = 0

It works perfectly well for firmware SAMBA but here for some reason it isn't. Is there any way to enable it?

Hello guys,

performed all the steps, but still smbd -V is 3.5.6

I am not sure why the 3.6.25 is not installed, what am I missing?

[Mijzelf]

'smbd -V' shows the version of the called smbd, not necessarily the version of the running smbd. You can see which smbd you are calling by executing 'which smbd'.

Thanks Mijzelf,

seems that`s the one running. Should stop it and start the newer one I guess, thought the script would do it.

root@NSA325-v2:/# which smbd
/usr/sbin/smbd

root@NSA325-v2:/# which smbd
/usr/sbin/smbd

The script is supposed to do so. 'which smbd' tells you which smbd is started from the command line, not which smdb is actually running.
To see which is running, execute

ps | grep smbd

For some reason ps does not return anything when I grep for smbd, but I know it`s running... it runs on my libreelec box and on my NAS, but look below:

LibreELEC:~ # ps | grep smbd
412 root 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd
418 root 0:00 {smbd-notifyd} /usr/sbin/smbd
420 root 0:00 {cleanupd} /usr/sbin/smbd
427 root 0:00 {lpqd} /usr/sbin/smbd
607 root 0:00 grep smbd
LibreELEC:~ # ssh nas

update: tnx to Philip! Stopped FFP, rebooted and installed via opkg.

Hello,

When I update opkg and install new samba-server then no working on ZyXELSambaReplacement. I look for other version on Samba and find barmalej2 on FFP, but script to run samba not working, so I change for ZyXELSambaReplacement to run /ffp/opt/sbin/... and work. When I run samba -V there is 3.6.25.

Just working on getting my NSA320 (NAS320) also on Samba 3.6.25.

Thanks, Mijzelf, for the Zyxel replacement script.

Just status for now:
- When installed the samba server, also S08samba is in /opt/etc/init.d (eXecute rights).
Some issues found, smbd would not start.

After removing S08, and (hope temp.) removing the recycle bins from the conf file, all seems to work perfectly.
Going to run for couple of days, then try to get the recycle back.

Hi All,

Just tried to startup the recycle bin again on nsa320, with 3.6.25 samba.

Error getting from smbd:
Probing module 'recycle'
Probing module 'recycle': Trying to load from /opt/lib/vfs/recycle.so
Error loading module '/opt/lib/vfs/recycle.so': /opt/lib/vfs/recycle.so: undefined symbol: DEBUGLEVEL_CLASS
error probing vfs module 'recycle': NT code 0xc0000001
smbd_vfs_init: vfs_init_custom failed for recycle
vfs_init failed for service personal (is share on NAS320)
setting sec ctx (504, 500) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0


First to find library which covers the DEBUGLEVEL_CLASS.
Should normally be found within the path via the env.
...
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/zy-pkgs/lib
...
PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/zyxel/sbin:/usr/local/zy-pkgs/bin:/zyxel/htp

If you have any ideas, please add.....

[barmalej2]

This issue can't be solved neither using LD_LIBRARY_PATH neither PATH variables. Recompilation of source code with appropriate patch or LDFLAGS is the only one solution.

Just an update: thinking outlout.
The recycle.so is an vfs module, which should be included into the samba 3.6.25.
I could not find any recycle.so file for samba 3.6.25.

Q1 Maybe a source could be found, to compile it for this samba version.
Q2 If a source is found, how to compile it on/for the zyxel nas.

[JDD]

Found the sources on https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/st ... .25.tar.gz
( date is 2015-02-23, probably the latest sec.issues not included ? )

The file vfs_recycle.c is in there.

Now this has to be compiled for the NSA320. Never done that.

Can anybody advise ?

[barmalej2]

Just recompilation will not help you. This task requires experience and knowledge, besides your source doesn't includes security patches.
Ask Mijzelf to do this.

[JDD]

Hi Mijzelf,

Could you include the security pathces and compile this for the NSA320 ?

Many thanks,
