I found under temp all these smbd files

root@GL-AR750S:/tmp# ls 
TZ                            lib                           resolv.conf.auto              smbd.1542302881.15825.6.core

extroot                       nmbd                          smbd.1542299989.2469.6.core   tmp
hosts                         overlay                       smbd.1542299991.2765.6.core   wpa_ctrl_2666-1

root@GL-AR750S:/tmp#
22

And these the log files

root@GL-AR750S:/tmp/log# ls
cores     lastlog   lighttpd  log.nmbd  log.smbd  wtmp
root@GL-AR750S:/tmp/log#
23

Thanks

Sorry for the ignorance, what should I restart Samba?

I will do it again and wil report the logs

24

Thanks

But why do you think I canā€™t see any smb process running?

25

Those "smbd.*.core" files mean that samba is failing to start, and failing badly. Perhaps your device does not have enough RAM, perhaps there is a bug in SAMBA, ...

Open a SSH session and execute "logread -f", then open another one and run "/etc/init.d/samba restart", and watch the messages flow on the first session. Perhaps there is a clue there.

26

You're running the gl.inet flavour of OpenWrt ... it's probably better to ask in their support forum.

The firmware came pre installed in the router

32

This is what i get when i try to reach the router/USB drive from windows

The device or resource (GL-AR750S) is not set up to accept connections on port "The File and printer sharing (SMB)".

33

Yes, exactly...

34

thanks

is there any way i can reinstall samba, or would this not help?

regards

35

I would first install vanilla OpenWrt over the version supplied by the manufacturer, if the device supports it. Otherwise, I would contact the manufacturer.

36

Gracias Eduardo
I have already written to the technical support of the manufacturer but so far I didnā€™t get any answers.
Perhaps I could also try to reset the device to factory settings.
Would you kindly point me to a place where I could get a plain vanilla openwrt firmware for the router?
As you have surely noticed I am completely new to all this and I appreciate very much the support received

Saludos

37

Be aware that it'll be very slow running Samba 4.x

38

I have now upgraded the firmware of the router to the newest available, therefore I need to reinstall everything from scratch
Could you please point me to a list of packages to install in order to have samba working properly
Thanks

39

Now after upgrading firmware and having. A clean installation I still canā€™t connect to the router via windows.
However , as per Edu earlier message, I have exec simultaneously logread -f and restarted samba.

This is the message from the first session

Sat Nov 17 17:04:11 2018 kern.info kernel: [ 1052.522642] nf_conntrack: default automatic helper assignment has been turned off for security reasons
and CT-based firewall rule not found. Use the iptables CT target to attach helpers instead.

Is there anything I should be doing with firewall?
Saludos

hi all
i still can no connect and i see again the "smbd.*.core" files in tmp and no "smbd" under ps
I have tried to flash the firmware with this bin file:
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar750s-squashfs-sysupgrade

but i could not , i get an incorrect format error.
