I have been running optware the right way (OTRW) and the take two version. The only modules I actually run is asia block, and pixelserv. Pixelserv requires xinetd.
Build is 19342, K24, std_nokaid. 19342 was the last dd-wrt build in which an SD card worked. The hardware is a TM.
It has been flawless for quite a long time. The power went out and was out for hours so I had no choice but to shut down the networking gear because the UPS was not going to last more than 4 hours.
When the router boots with pixelserv, PS checks the blacks file. If it is more than 4 days old, a new hosts file is downloaded and imported into the blacks file.
Because the router was running for over two years without a reboot, the blacks file was never rebuilt.. There was no need.
This file must have changed in regard to format.. Pixelserv downloads it five times. I don't believe that is the way is used to work.
Nothing from the hosts file is imported into the blacks file, only entries that are in the hosts.include file which are entries I made are imported.
I have been messing with this for days and I am at my wits end. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I have manually added the downloaded hosts file after a lot of editing to the include file. That works sort of.. It takes forever to add the 3000 entries (rounding) and the router is left with no ram so that is not the solution. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
