Samba Share For Router Logs in All Things Unix http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21148827 en Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:24:32 EDT Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:24:32 EDT Re: Samba Share For Router Logs http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21151257 KodiacZiller : I figured it out: I had a simple setting turned off in SWAT that wasn't allowing connections from the router.

Thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21151257 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:50:25 EDT Re: Samba Share For Router Logs http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21150920 Brano : As already mentioned above, you don't need to mount any file systems.

Just
1) On the router define your Gentoo box as syslog server (somewhere on the log settings page)
2) On Gentoo make sure your syslog (or syslog-ng) is accepting remote logs from your router's IP.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21150920 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:48:37 EDT Re: Samba Share For Router Logs http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21149379 KodiacZiller : Well if any of you are familiar with Tomato firmware, it says I have the following options:

RAM
NVRAM
CIFS
JFFS2
Custom Path

What would you guys recommend?

BTW, I think I have NFS disabled in the kernel.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21149379 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:09:16 EDT Re: Samba Share For Router Logs http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21149007 Cabal : Or just NFS-mount the log directory on one system to the other, no need for Samba.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21149007 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:54:31 EDT Re: Samba Share For Router Logs http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21148929 luminaire : Why not just set up syslog on the gentoo box to accept log messages from the router, and make a central syslog server. Using a SAMBA share for this seems kinda strange when there is a protocol/service specifically designed for this.

I am running Gentoo and have already compiled and installed samba and CIFS. I also have SMB4k and SWAT as GUI interfaces. What I want to do is create a CIFS share that allows my router to connect. What is the best and easiest way to do this?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21148827 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:18:46 EDT
