Hi,

it's possible but maybe you need some linux skills.

First you need to change samba config

change in /etc/smb.conf

security from share to user.

Then comment out two lines

# public = yes
# guest ok = yes

and add

valid users = root

in the [Harddisk] section

and then add root account to samba.

smbpasswd -a root

but you need to install samba package first.

Regards

Martin

Password in the config ?

You need to setup password with smbpasswd as i wrote above.

Login via telnet or ssh and type

smbpasswd -a root

This will add root user to samba secrets file and setup password for the user.

But fort this you need to install samba package.

I've posted an IPK in the Italian section who contains the "smbpasswd" command (and others too) if they are missing no your boxes.
I think the same IPK can be installed via Software Manager or telnet via opkg command line utility.
