TomatoUSB

Hi Folks,
I try to run Multi-user for Samba.

actually i have my 3 users in the passwd file with this script: tomatousb.org/tut:adding-your-own-users

passwd:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
Chef:x:100:100:nas:/dev/null:/dev/null
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/dev/null:/dev/null
Roland:x:200:200:Roland:/home/Roland:/bin/sh
Johannes:x:201:201:Johannes:/home/Johannes:/bin/sh
Heinrich:x:201:201:Heinrich:/home/Heinrich:/bin/sh

the users where added with: smbpasswd <username> <password>

then i tryed to modify the /etc/smb.conf

[global]
 interfaces = br0
 bind interfaces only = yes
 workgroup = WORKGROUP
 netbios name = ROUTER
 server string = tomato
 guest account = nobody
 security = user

 guest ok = no
 guest only = no
 browseable = yes
 syslog only = yes
 timestamp logs = no
 syslog = 1
 encrypt passwords = yes
 use sendfile = yes
 preserve case = yes
 short preserve case = yes
 wins support = yes
 domain master = yes
 local master = yes
 preferred master = yes
 os level = 65
 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384

[ALLES]
 path = /tmp/mnt
 writable = yes
 delete readonly = yes
 force user = root
 comment = ois

[EINSTELLUNGEN]
 path = /opt
 writable = yes
 delete readonly = yes
 force user = root
 comment = OPT

[LogDatei]
 path = /opt/LOG/log
 comment = Logdatei

[TERRRAPLATT]
 path = /tmp/mnt/Terrraplatt
 writable = yes
 delete readonly = yes
 force user = root
 comment = Terraplatt

[SCHEISSE]
 path = /tmp/mnt/SCHEISSE
 comment = SCHEISSE
 writable = yes
 delete readonly = yes
 force user = root

[Terrraplatt]
 path = /tmp/mnt/Terrraplatt
 comment = Terrraplatt
 writable = yes
 delete readonly = yes
 force user = root

everything "saved" with
nvram setfile2nvram <filename>
nvram commit

but after every reset SAMBA writes his own config from the Web GUI in these file

My Question.
*)How do i use the Samba Custom Konfiguration in the WebGui
*)is there a other way to overwrite the system settings

FYI: Using Shibby's build, "tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-N5x-MPSR2-095-AIO.trx" on an Asus N66U.

Just spent the whole day battling this and finally won! First thing, make sure your <filename> is the entire path when using "nvram setfile2nvram <filename>". So for example use /etc/samba/smbpasswd, not just smbpasswd. Discovering that detail wasted an hour for me.

My goal was to have multiple samba logins so that I could setup different permission levels for different people in my house.

1) Use the webgui to setup an initial samba share, and check that it works. This is a good sanity check before getting into the customizing.

2) Login to router, using your admin password.
$ssh 1.1.861.291|toor#1.1.861.291|toor

3) Add your users to the passwd.custom file which is automatically appended to passwd during boot.
#vi /etc/passwd.custom
user1:x:200:200:nas:/dev/null:/dev/null
user2:x:300:300:nas:/dev/null:/dev/null

4) Add these users with desired passwords to /etc/samba/smbpasswd with "smbpasswd" command.
#smbpasswd user1 password1
#smbpasswd user2 password2

5) Add the needed files to permanent memory to survive through reboots.
#nvram setfile2nvram /etc/passwd.custom
#nvram setfile2nvram /etc/samba/smbpasswd
#nvram commit

6) Use the webgui's Custom Samba text box to setup your share. This will automatically be appended to /etc/smb.conf on each boot. Here is an example where user1/user2 have different read/write permissions.

[Videos1]
comment =
path = /tmp/mnt/Seagate/Videos
browseable = yes
read only = yes
valid users = user1
[Videos2]
comment =
path = /tmp/mnt/Seagate/Videos
browseable = yes
read only = no
valid users = user2

Thanx 4 info.
Try it in further time.

Please, help! TomatoUSB Shibby 1.28 on Asus RT N66U.

I added Samba users/passwords, configured shares and verified that all is in place after reboot as described in the previous post by slaupin_bauks.
I set Authentication "not required" on the Tomato Samba page.
When connecting from Win 7 on the same LAN I can see list of shares. However, no matter how I try user/password, it keeps saying that I have no access to open those shares. Is it a limitation of Samba port on Shibby? Do I have to do something with access mask for those folders/files?
If I set Authentication to "required" and use default user "Server" with password everything works. My users are in the same passwd file as the default Server user.
Could anybody give me any clue, please?
