Is smb.postconf working?

[DonChino]

Simple problem. I basically wrote a script to allow "anonymous" access to a PUBLIC samba share while "hiding" the entware folder from the network.

If I run the script manually with ./smb.postconf then everything works, but when I reboot it does not work. It seems like my script in the /jffs/scripts folder is not being run automatically. I do not have other scripts, but I am starting with smb.postconf and wondering if anyone else is having this problem or if there is something else I am supposed to do?

Yes, activated JFFS custom scripts. Yes, I am logging on with PuTTY and can SSH and everything. I can see all the files in question and I can see the changes being made to /etc/smb.conf but only when I run it manually. I can even see that the entware folder "disappers" from "My network places" in Windows. So everything seems to be working but this is not running automatically with reboot.

I am on Firmware version: 380.64 on RT-AC68U, but I will upload my script file for others to leverage...

I think not every script in /jffs/scripts directory is started automatically. There are some "reserved" names for that. My feeling is that you should include your code in the script named "post-mount", but not quite sure. Read Merlin's wiki for more info.

A couple of changes to your script.....

CONFIG=/etc/smb.conf to CONFIG=$1 (the name is passed as a parameter)

remove all the process kill and restart code, not needed and is probably mucking things up. The .postconf scripts aren't meant to be run standalone from the command line.
