Re: why cant i make wall watcher work

You have to explain your problem so other people can understand. If WW is running but does not have any entries in the log it is very different from WW program shutting down.

The version of HyperWRT (old) that I used required the following entries in the startup/firewall scripts:

Startup script:
sleep 2
/sbin/klogd
/sbin/syslogd -R
echo "#!/bin/sh" > /tmp/loggit.sh
echo "while true" >> /tmp/loggit.sh
echo "/usr/bin/killall -9 klogd" >> /tmp/loggit.sh
echo "sleep 1" >> /tmp/loggit.sh
echo "/sbin/klogd" >> /tmp/loggit.sh
echo "sleep 960" >> /tmp/loggit.sh
echo "done" >> /tmp/loggit.sh
chmod 700 /tmp/loggit.sh
/tmp/loggit.sh &
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses
echo 512 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1
echo 2048 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3
echo "600 1800 120 60 120 120 10 60 30 120" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeouts

Firewall script:
/usr/sbin/iptables -R INPUT 7 -j logdrop
/usr/sbin/iptables -R INPUT 1 -j logdrop -m state --state INVALID

You have to configure syslogd process on the router in order to see anything in the log. This process sends UDP traffic with the events that WW listens to. WW is a passive program, it just sits and listens on a particular socket.

I thought that the most recent version of HyperWRT has user interface for syslogd configuration (just destination IP and enable/disable) but I might be wrong.
