So, you've come to my profile page: Welcome!

I'm sorry, you won't find no personal profile here. I am thinking about using this as a scratch page for my personal experiences with my NSLU2. Well let me state the 'profile' of my SLUG then, it may be if some value to you.

Had big trouble while installing packages, messed up the installation big time. Left the slug for a while and used it only under Linux (Knoppix). Seemed to work for a while, but things as user rights to several directories were making me crazy. The explore2fs program, ext2ifs driver and the ext2/reiser pluging of Total Commander helped me out for a while. Tonight, I found the solution why the Sercomm util didn't work: it needs to run with admin rights. It just finished uploading and said it was succesful, a little step closer to the solution...

edit: Only ports 445 and 6789 seem visible. Still no webinterface, no SSH nor telnet...

20061112, Hiphip, Hurray!

Me very (*VERY*) happy!! Unslinging has worked, al files still there. This is sweet.. Now, be a lot more cautious when changing things ...

OK, next steps:

UseOpenSSHForRemoteAccess
All users/groups back
Put all files back (with the proper rights!!), the last thing will be a challenge, probably. My addition to the Nano page makes life easier for PuTTy ? access to the NSLU2.
AddPrinter, (let the scanner rest for a while...) first get confidence back again. Not only for me , but mere for the other users (i.e. my wife...)
AddUsbWebcam
DigitalCameraBackup
SpinDownUSBHarddisks
Read ComparingWebServers

20061126 Samba properly configured

It seemed I had forgotten one step in the upgrade method of Samba. I got an error on one of the clients on the network (win2k): "Duplicate hostname found". It seems that after the upgrade the old smb-settings are overwritten. Today I followed the directions of the Alternate Update Method (#1) and all seems to work fine again ...!

Now I'm no longer 'stuck', but passed step 1!! The rest of the steps will have 2 wait 4 a while. Enjoy this sweet victory for a while (or while it lasts ... ;))
