Here I plan to publish alternate firmware for DNS-300.
In this section you can find patched DLink’s firmware. I use version numbers as DLink original version + 4. For example my firmware 5.01 it is patched DLink’s firmware version 1.01.
Build on DLink firmware 1.01.003 (beta).
Download: dns300-5.01.004 (7 696 384)
Install: Just upgrade firmware by usual way on WWW interface. NOTE: it takes ~5 minutes on my device. Don’t interrupt this process, because you can get “bricked” DNS-300 if you interrupt flash process in the middle.
Configuration: To use mod_codeconv plugin for ProFTPd you need to make following changes in /etc/proftpd.conf.
CharsetLocal "CP866" CharsetRemote "CP1251"
It’s settings specifically for russian users. If you use other language settings - you need to change this settings and maybe to renew libiconv.
Unfortunately it’s inpossible to modify DLink’s configuration software, because it’s proprietary and I don’t have sources. Also DNS-300 rewrites /etc/proftpd.conf on every restart, so we need to make changes in this file on every restart.
To make this configuration changes permanent, you need to add special file N91fix.sh to /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/. Content of N91fix.sh file:
sleep 10 echo CharsetLocal CP866 >> /etc/proftpd.conf echo CharsetRemote CP1251 >> /etc/proftpd.conf echo UseReverseDNS false >> /etc/proftpd.conf killall proftpd sleep 2 /usr/sbin/proftpd
To do it: you need to enable telnet access to your DNS-300, get root access and make following commands:
echo sleep 10 > /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh echo echo CharsetLocal CP866 \>\> /etc/proftpd.conf >> /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh echo echo CharsetRemote CP1251 \>\> /etc/proftpd.conf >> /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh echo echo UseReverseDNS false \>\> /etc/proftpd.conf >> /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh echo killall proftpd >> /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh echo sleep 2 >> /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh echo /usr/sbin/proftpd >> /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/rcS_up.d/N91fix.sh /etc/init.d/reboot
