Need Windows File Sharing on a low powered router? Samba not cutting it? Wanna really work for it? Try KSMBD!
NOT a CHANCE in HE "double hockey sticks"!
It is hopelessly broken in OpenWRT in several ways;
- Share the / (root) directory? Nope, busted. Supposedly fixed that issue in version 3.4.x (or close), but not for OpenWRT's 3.5.3 (as of 12.2024), still busted
- Windows 11? Ha! Oh, wait, if one enables Guest Access, then it work (sure, right)
- service ksmbd restart might break it and require a restart, so use stop and start (not fully tested, shouldn't need this level of examination, but sadly it does)
Would recommend Samba 3, but that's gone, so dog slow Samba 4.
Oh, and there's some weird thing that if there isn't a system user name that's the same as the SMB User Name (added with smbpasswd), then KSMBD defaults to 'only guest mode works'. (Funky, huh?)
