NAS not working on 7390 with OS6

[frater]

Sorry for writing in English. I can write in German, but it's so much harder for me to express in that language. English is not my native English either, btw.

I have about 50 AVM-routers with clients.. Most of them 7390, but I have almost all the popular models (7170, 7270, 3270, 3370, 7360).
Only one of all these routers is using in-built NAS.
Recently I upgraded all the routers to OS6 (when this was possible). All went fine, beside this client.
It turned out the NAS wasn't working.
I downgraded the router to OS5 and it started working again.
Then they had a breach of security and their VoIP-account with strong password was suddenly being used for phone-calls to African countries and Monaco.
I'm of course not sure it was due to this firmware, but I had to do something.
I placed a 7490 and NAS was working.
Then it turned out both DECT and WiFi was unstable.
We placed a separate WAP and Siemens DECT-station....

In the mean time I'm checking new firmwares for the 7390 to see if I can get the NAS working again.
I even tried an original AVM-firmware and noticed it wasn't working either...
How is this possible? I can't see anyone else complaining, which is very strange of course.

I can get it working on other models and I can see inetd is listening on port 139 and 445.
Nothing is listening on a 7390 I'm currently testing.
If I enable "NAS" I can see the /etc/inetd.conf changes and has a line for FTP, but no extra lines for Samba.

This is a 7490 that is working with NAS

root@7490:/var/mod/root# cat /etc/inetd.conf

#:smbd:139: AVM smbd daemon
139     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /bin/sh sh /bin/inetdsamba

#:smbd:445: AVM smbd daemon
445     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /bin/sh sh /bin/inetdsamba

#:ftpd:21: AVM ftp daemon
21      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /bin/sh sh /bin/inetdftp

This is a 7390 with 06.06

root@7390:/var/mod/root# cat /etc/inetd.conf

#:ftpd:21: AVM ftp daemon
21      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /bin/sh sh /bin/inetdftp

The 7490 has "replace kernel", but I can't do this for a 7390.
But NAS should work either way, wouldn't it?
At least on a plain vanilla AVM 7390 with 06.x firmware??

I'm testing a 7390 without any external storage, BTW.
I just enable NAS and then expect inetd.conf to get changed.....
Do I need a router with external storage to get SMB enabled?

I downgraded the router to OS5 and it started working again.
Then they had a breach of security and their VoIP-account with strong password was suddenly being used for phone-calls to African countries and Monaco.

All the older firmwares have a known security vulnerability. Strong passwords don't help against this.

I even tried an original AVM-firmware and noticed it wasn't working either...

Then you should report the problem to AVM.

Thanks for your feedback, but what I'm looking for is some confirmation of this bug.
At one hand I can't see what I might be doing wrong, but on the other hand it strikes to me as extremely odd that a complete failure of a feature gets undetected by the general public, meaning all users of AVM firmware.
I assume you yourself have a 7390 at your disposal. Can you get the NAS to work?

 

[RalfFriedl]

No, I don't have a 7390.
Maybe you have some hardware problem. Or you could try a reset to defaults or even better a recovery. If that works you know that you have a problem with your configuration.

 

[frater]

After I discovered that the NAS wasn't working I ran the AVM firmware/setting restore.

I was expecting it to work on a totally default config and thought of doing things step by step.
I couldn't believe it wasn't working.
I have tried different models, so it's not a failed device...

Are there others that can check the NAS on a 7390?

 

[RalfFriedl]

I didn't mention restore settings. Do a reset to factory settings or better a recovery. Do not restore any settings, just enable the NAS. Does it work? If not, write to AVM

 

[frater]

I did all this a week ago. A complete default firmware with settings.
It just strikes me as odd that no-one can use a NAS on the latest 7390..
I don't have a good experience with AVM-support. I wrote them 2 years ago about an issue with snom phones. An issue for which a website exists and a solution is given. They just stopped replying.

[RalfFriedl]

They probably don't promise snom support, but they promise NAS functions.
Anyway, the NAS is part of the AVM firmware. If you have Freetz, you can use the Samba in Freetz for a NAS.
