Zyxel NSA 320 being able to choose which samba version to use

JoaoJ

I have a Zyxel NSA320 working with SMBv2, which I followed the enabling 3rd party repository procedure, install the Entware-ng zyxel-samba-replacement package, opkg update, opkg install zyxel-samba-replacement, etc...

Everything has been working correctly for a long time, and without any problems.

However, I wanted to carry out some tests and needed to get the original version of samba (3.5.6) working, but without changing anything else in the NAS configuration.

I tried deleting the symbolic link:

samba.sh -> /opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement

and I put the file /etc/init.d/samba.replaced.sh as samba.sh

but when I restart it, the same version is running, and the symbolic link is configured again.

So, is it possible (and easy) to get the previous samba version (3.5.6) working again?

The objective was to be able to change between samba versions easily.

Switching to the 'old' samba should be as simple as

/opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement stop

And reverting back to new samba

/opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement start

If you want to stay in the old samba without removing the SambaReplacement package:

/opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement stop
chmod -x /opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement

That way the script is not longer executed on boot.
