You need to edit /opt/etc/smcroute.conf for your device before (auto)starting it with /opt/etc/init.d/Sxxx script

[sim2github]

This is first that i have done.

[root]# /opt/etc/init.d/S50smcroute start
 Starting smcroute...              failed.
[root]# cat /opt/etc/init.d/S50smcroute
#!/bin/sh

ENABLED=yes
PROCS=smcroute
ARGS="-d"
PREARGS=""                                                                 DESC=$PROCS
PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
. /opt/etc/init.d/rc.func
[root]#

Init script do the same as smcroute -d

I dont see any log or output so cant understand where is problem.

[zyxmon]

Probably your config is still invalid. One of the developers started smcroute without problems on his router (not on qnap NAS).

[sim2github]

Reset config to default - still get silence. If config not valid program must inform me where is mistake. Sources smcroute/src/log.c says that i can find it in syslog or stderr but i don't.

Will try compile from sources.

[zyxmon]

There is no default config, package comes with some example config to be adjusted. There is no syslog on qnap. You can try to install syslog-ng or similar package.

The syslog-ng shows on TS-128

Your kernel does not support smcroute

Confirm. :( Thanks for help. 👍
