USB Application Accounts messed up RT-AC86U

[ColinTaylor]

At long last, I just tried to update entware, but failed.
And after restoring a backup carrying that bug, samba shares stopped working.

What sort of data were you restoring?

I restored the backup from backupmon.

amtm.tar.gz
jffs.tar.gz
nvram.cfg
routerfw.txt

Now, I can't say how the bug happened, but the oldest backup I have from 19/12/2024 already have the samba users inverted.
The samba users were correctly set the 24/10/Oct 24, 2024.

Ah, I understand now. Well at least you got it working in the end.

By curiosity, I just restored today's backup and the samba users were switched again. So I guess something is going on with BACKUPMON and my router about the SAMBA users.
*edit* Since the settings survives reboots I thought the variables were stored correctly.

This is nothing to do with BACKUPMON. It's a bug in the way that Asus stores the nvram variable.
