Hi,
I managed tot around the new location of freeramdisk problem by removing ${uclibc#/0.9.28} from each of the _fct wgetx commands.

However, I now get this error:
insmod: can’t insert ‘/var/rd.ko’: invalid module format

Any ideas please?

Hi,
great tutorial, however, i wish to add the following: please stress that a filesystem on the usb-stick MUST BE ABLE to support symlinks , and b: in this series 1, please explain how to change the ./cfg_dropbear usb_install because off the change in url!!

Hi there, “www.spblinux.de/fbox.new/0.9.31/26/freeramdisk” is not longer there. Freeramdisk has been moved to http://www.spblinux.de/fbox.new/26/freeramdisk how do we change the ./cfg_dropbear usb_install to use the new URL? Thanks.

quick update – I can use dropbear attached to my fritzbox but I reboot I loose evertyhing. The passwd is back to 0:0 and the /bin/cfg_dropbear is not existant. I need to use the script to reinstall dropbear, recreate the key and I am back to a usable SSH working server.
Any idea ?

Can you tell me why I don’t have the start up script at /var/media/ftp/FLASH-DISK-01/addons/startup.sh ?
I tried to create it as well but to no avail.

Thanks

Well, it looks like “tcp 0.0.0.0:22 192.168.178.2:22 0 # dropbear works.
It now starts dropbear (after adding sleep 30, as suggested), but passwords fail (for now

I used cat /etc/passwd >> startup.sh, and added the echo’s by hand.

I’ll check the filename etc later.

Hi,

I just installed the latest labor firmware on my FRITZ!Box and ssh is still working. So either there is something different on V3 (I have V2) or you made a spelling error when adding the rule to the file and the FRITZ!Box believes something is messed up with the configuration.

Hello.
I have en 7270-V3, with the labor firmware, and everything seems to work, until I change the forward rules (with nvi) Then, after ar7cfgchanged and reboot it thinks it’s fresh out-of-the-box, and starts the configuration wizard.

Thankfully I saved the configuration, so I can just do a restore, but it is impossible to add the forward rule.

Has anyone encountered this?
And what was the solution?

so my /var/flash/debug.cfg contains now:

# execute the start script which is on the usb stick
sleep 30
/var/media/ftp/USB-DISK2-0-01/addons/startup.sh
