Optware is like a power pack for DD-WRT enabling the user to enhance the functionality even further by adding even more services to the router. I wanted guests to have write access to the public volume and FTP access. I also wanted non-privileged access to DD-WRT so I created more users for /etc/passwd. I installed a custom S99Local script to keep the custom user database up to date, Proftp to get my own configuration options that the GUI didn't support, and I deviated from the typical Samba config to enable guests to have write access.
Here, you can see my S99Local file which adds users and groups from /opt/etc to the main password database. I gave the users their own id and group.I also moved the local user's home directory from /opt to /mnt/home so they could use Samba and the larger filesystem. I used smbpasswd -a to add the users to /opt/etc/smbpasswd.
Proftp and Samba enable anonymous write permission to /mnt/public. This is so the guests who come over can have access to the share volume and transfer data without using sneaker net. The Proftp config file is modified to allow guests to write the public share. I enabled the firewall to allow guests to have FTP and SMB access from the guest LAN.
