    Where and how can I add more repos (with the zyxel-samba-replacement)
    As a pessimistic software dev ... how does the replacement work?
    Will the web-UI to configure still work?
    Yes. It writes to /etc/samba/smb.conf, which is included in the 'replacement conf'.

    Works great!

    Just had some fun with my old NSA325. I compiled a version of minio.io s3 server for this zyxel.

    Read the page about 'Entware-ng & FFP coexisting'.

    Hi again! I don't know what I have to do. Please be more specific.

    == Welcome at FFP version 0.7/arm, running on NSA325v2 NSA325-v2, firmware V4.81(AALS.1) ==

    root@NSA325-v2:~# echo $PATH

    /ffp/opt/java/jre/bin:/ffp/opt/java/jre/bin:/ffp/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/ffp/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

    It's literally on that page:
    This problem can be solved by providing the full path when you want to execute an Entware-ng command:
    /opt/bin/some_command
    or you can source /opt/etc/profile:
    . /opt/etc/profile

    Please don't laugh but I'm a newbie in this stuff. Please give me more........

    == Welcome at FFP version 0.7/arm, running on NSA325v2 NSA325-v2, firmware V4.81(AALS.1) ==

    root@NSA325-v2:~# /opt/bin/su

    -sh: /opt/bin/su: No such file or directory

    root@NSA325-v2:~# cd /opt/bin/

    root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# su

    root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# opkg update

    sh: opkg: command not found

    <pre class="CodeBlock"><code>root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# opkg update
    Running /opt/bin/opkg is not the same as running opkg from within /opt/bin/. Linux searches $PATH to find an executable, and the current directory is not in there.
    <pre class="CodeBlock"><code> root@NSA325-v2:/opt/bin# /opt/bin/opkg update sh: /opt/bin/opkg: Input/output error
    This should have worked. Don't know where the 'Input/output error' comes from.
    <pre class="CodeBlock"><code> root@NSA325-v2:~# . /opt/etc/profile sh: /opt/etc/profile: No such file or directory
    That might give a hint. When /opt/etc/profile is not there, probably something is wrong with the /opt symlink. Try a reboot.

    This is fantastic!! Thank you so much Mijzelf. I followed the instructions here and now my Zyxel 325v2 is running Samba 3.6.x (Well, not sure how to check the version, but I installed the Entware-ng zyxel-samba-replacement package). 

    If I may, I summarized the steps here for smoother reading. Feel free to delete the post if I have overstepped.

    Replace Samba 1.0 with 3.6x on Zyxel 325v2

    Start by enabling 3rd party repository (Mijzelf instructions here)

    From this page, specific to the Zyxel 325v2 (firmware4.81)

    Step 1

    • Download the file web_prefix from http://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/, and put it in the directory \\<NAS>\admin\zy-pkgs\ on the NAS. Make sure your browser doesn't add any extensions to the file. The filename is web_prefix, without extension, all lowercase characters.

    • This is obvious, but I needed this. Just mount the “admin” share on your zyxel NAS! Then go into the zy-pkgs folder and copy the web_prefix file there.

    Step 2

    • In the packages menu in the webinterface execute 'Retreive list from Internet'. Install MetaRepository. Execute 'Retreive list from Internet' again.

    Now install the Entware-ng package

    • In the packages menu in the webinterface on the “Package” tab, select the Entware-ng package from the list and click “Install/Upgrade”

    Now install the Entware-ng zyxel-samba-replacement package

    • SSH into your NAS box (if you have not already, install the SSH package, then click into the management page and enable SSH)

    • Become root

      • Type “su” and enter your root password

    • Update the package list

      • Type “opkg update”

    • Install zyxel-samba-replacement

      • Type “opkg install zyxel-samba-replacement”

    Reboot the NAS when finished.

    Finally disable “Enable Recycle bin” for all your user-created shares

    • Go the the “Shares” webinterface. 

    • Click on a share, then “Edit Share”

    • Uncheck “Enable Recycle Bin” and choose “Apply”
