    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

    merlin - which script?

    It's undesirable for our custom rules to be absent for any length of time, so what we really need is a script that's called right after the router has touched ebtables, so that we can act immediately. What would it take to get such a script added?

    firewall-start script is not called at router startup

    Some clarification might be needed on the definition of the term "services". The User-scripts wiki page says services-start is called "after all other system services have been started"; I had assumed that the firewall was a service, but apparently it's not. What else on the router is "not a...

    firewall-start script is not called at router startup

    The problem was that I had not connected the router's WAN port to anything. Now that I've connected the WAN port to the Internet, the wan-start, nat-start and finally firewall-start scripts are running at startup. The configuration I was working on had to do with local vlans and subnets and...

    Unexpected behavior of /jffs/syslog.log

    I'm using asuswrt merlin 382.1_2 on an ASUS RT-AC3100. During the configuration process I've often needed to check the syslog.log file. I was in /jffs editing my scripts and configs, found syslog.log there, and assumed that's where the router puts it. But I had trouble using it. "tail -f...

    Why is mkfifo missing?

    Thanks but I've no interest in building and maintaining a custom release of the firmware. As I said I'm able to make fifos using "mknod foo p" instead of "mkfifo foo". Adding mkfifo would make the router no less secure than it already is by having mknod.

    firewall-start script is not called at router startup

    The shebang line is correct. The scripts have UNIX line endings. The contents of the firewall-start script doesn't matter; the router does not run it at startup. The router does run it if I stop or start the firewall using the web interface. I would post my sanity check script setup, but...

    The executable bit is set.

    Why is mkfifo missing?

    Yes, I know my script was still using Apple's mknod. I'm aware that a different mknod is available from coreutils. My question was, since there are different implementations of mknod and it is inconvenient to code a script that correctly works with any mknod implementation, why does asuswrt...

    Why is mkfifo missing?

    I already have coreutils installed with MacPorts.

    firewall-start script is not called at router startup

    I'm running asuswrt merlin 382.1_2 on my ASUS RT-AC3100 router, and I'm trying to write the scripts that will configure my vlans and ports the way I want. I'm a little unclear on which commands should go in services-start and which belong in firewall-start but I've done my best to separate them...

    Why is mkfifo missing?

    I'm curious why the busybox in asuswrt merlin (382.1_1, at least) does not contain "mkfifo". # mkfifo -sh: mkfifo: not found # busybox mkfifo mkfifo: applet not found According to busybox.net, "mkfifo" was added in busybox 0.39 in 1999; asuswrt merlin allegedly contains busybox 1.25.1 from...

    RT-AC3100 won't restart with Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1

    Hi, I'm new here so I hope I'm correct to post this here. I'm also new to ASUS routers. I've previously been using DD-WRT on other routers. Thanks to RMerlin for maintaining the Asuswrt-Merlin fork! I recently bought a used RT-AC3100 which had Asuswrt-Merlin 380.x on it. I reset the NVRAM and...
