MED500X ssh/telnet and SAMBA settings

[phoenix73]

Hi to all,

I'm new to Media Player but pretty experienced on Linux.
MED500x seems to be a MIPS powered Linux box (kernel 2.6.12).

I think it should be possible to log to it using telnet and may be ssh.
What's the default login/password ?

Also, is it possible to change the samba settings to change from WORKGROUP to say MYHOME group and update the samba server settings via the TV interface or did nano/vi are required (it's not a problem).

It's sad, but may be we could change the WORKGROUP via the telco ?

you could:
- copy the /usr/local/package/samba/lib/smb.conf to your hdd .. alter it as you want
- kill the running smbd
- start /usr/local/package/samba/sbin/smbd -D -s /mnt/usbmounts/*path_to_your_edited_smb.conf*

haven't tried it myself but i did a similar thing with bftpd and it just works until you restart the box

*edit*

i looked into it abit .. and found a local smb.conf on the ext.3 partition of the box

try to alter the /tmp/hdd/root/samba/lib/smb.conf and things should be permanent
start / stop / restart your samba with /tmp/hdd/root/script/samba start - stop - restart

I updated /tmp/hdd/root/samba/lib/smb.conf

and

/tmp/hdd/root/script/samba stop
/tmp/hdd/root/script/samba start

and it works but after doing the NAS on/off, settings where lost ;(

I'll redo it

For others users interest, I followed this guide :

BTW.

Could I safely remove the $RECYCLE.BIN and System Volume Information ?

Absolutely

Great, Right now.

Very strange.

The samba settings are :

cat /tmp/hdd/root/samba/lib/smb.conf
[global]
security=share
log file=/usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size=2000
domain logons=Yes
dns proxy=No
use sendfile=yes
guest account=root
encrypt passwords=yes
passdb backend=smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
read raw=yes
write raw=yes
oplocks=yes
max xmit=65535
dead time=15
getwd cache=yes
lpq cache=30
read prediction=yes
client NTLMv2 auth=yes
[USB1]
path=/tmp/usbmounts/sda1
hide dot files=yes
hide files=/.*/lost+found/
guest ok=yes
writable=yes
force create mode=0775
force directory mode=0775

The internal SATA is seen as USB1 not HDD1 ?

[mark.m.moran]

What would a connected USB HDD be seen as by default?? Do you know the command to check if Samba is running?

[phoenix73]

You should use, ps | grep samba :

You'll get smbd and nmbd

# ps | grep samba
  524 root       1584 S N /tmp/package/samba/sbin/smbd -D
  527 root        836 S N /tmp/package/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
  529 root       1560 S N /tmp/package/samba/sbin/smbd -D
  672 root        304 S   grep samba

Thanx man, will try that. Just flashed custom FW that is available here (http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,2544.0.html) so hopefully NAS\Samba will work now!!

Cheers,
