    Undefined ref while compiling

    I see this when building asuswrt-merlin.ng code on fedora 27 and 30. No problem seen on ubuntu 14.04. A fix is to explicitly include libiconv in the LDFLAGS for wget: diff --git a/release/src/router/Makefile b/release/src/router/Makefile index 3613040984..a01e559fdd 100644 ---...

    Error building from sources

    This seems to only happen with newer linux distros, for example, ok with ubuntu 14.04 but fails on fedora 30. To fix it I edited /home/imac/asuswrt-merlin.ng-build/release/src/router/libevent-2.0.21/test/Makefile.am and changed all occurrences of "top_srcdir" to "top_builddir". I think there...

    Effect of Firewall/Network Service Filter

    I don't expect it to drop the connection. I expected it to drop the data sent to imap server port 993. So the client would timeout waiting for a response and eventually timeout and drop the connection. That's what happens when I put a similar rule on the OUTPUT chain of the email client linux...

    Effect of Firewall/Network Service Filter

    Should it be ahead of this rule?: -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j logaccept

    Effect of Firewall/Network Service Filter

    This makes it the first rule of the FORWARD chain ahead the ESTABLISHED rule. It still only prevents new connection to 993. It doesn't cause existing connections to start dropping data directed to port 993.

    Effect of Firewall/Network Service Filter

    As a quick experiment I want the router to block connections to imap server remote port 993. I can do this with the Firewall/Network Service Filter by adding destination port 993 and protocol TCP to the table at the bottom and enabling it as a blacklist. This adds a new rule to the FORWARD chain...

    Successive builds of *.trx differ

    Yes, I guess that's it. I see about 33% of the bytes in successive builds differ.

    Successive builds of *.trx differ

    I can git clone the asuswrt-merlin project and build a trx for my router successfully. Then if I save the trx file and repeat the build I generate another trx of the exact same length as the first one but it differs internally quite a lot and, of course, has a different CRC-32 checksum. Is...

    dropbearconvert broken?

    Yes, I saw that post too. I'm running 380.57. I only looked at the lastest git master code and didn't see anywhere the symlink was made. I needed to do the convert so ended up installing dropbear pkg on fedora and doing the convert there. I think it would be more complete to include this in the...

    dropbearconvert broken?

    I appears that dropbearconvert doesn't work. It does no conversion and just prints the following output: gene@flatbox:/tmp/home/root/.ssh# dropbearconvert openssh dropbear ./id_rsa ./id_rsa.db Dropbear SSH multi-purpose v2014.66 Make a symlink pointing at this binary with one of the following...

    Can't mount subdirectory in a cifs share

    Yes, I tried that but it didn't help for mounting a share's subdirectory. I think "modern" windows (NT 3.x or later?) generally accepts normal unix style forward slashes so the escaped backslashes aren't really necessary. At least I've never had to use them when doing cifs mounts in desktop...

    Can't mount subdirectory in a cifs share

    While porting a backup script to the router and trying to mount a windows share on rt-ac56u (380.57) I discovered that I can't mount a subdirectory of the share like I could on desktop linux. For example, for host HH if my share is called SS and the directory at the root of the share is called...

    Problem with EXT3 fs plugged to USB?

    snbforums seem to be down before I saw your reply. Anyhow, ran it from the router using fsck.ext3 (umount'd) and that seems to fix it even though it didn't show any problems. Thanks.

    Problem with EXT3 fs plugged to USB?

    Thanks. Will try that. But since it works OK on other linux systems, I have my doubts... One question: should I run fsck.ext3 on the router or when connected to a std linux system?

    Problem with EXT3 fs plugged to USB?

    I have tried to plug an old backup USB drive to my rt-ac56u router running 380.57 and earlier over the years and it never seems to stay accessible for any length of time. It continously thrashes and I see many errors like this in the router system log: Jun 27 00:40:06 kernel: EXT3-fs error...
