    BUG Samba 4.11 so wont see shares NAS / LINUX users


    Hi folks

    There's a / several bug(s) reported (and I can concur) with current release of Samba (4.11.x)

    This will also affect Windows users if they want to access NAS or Linux servers using SAMBA where SAMBA has been upgraded to Version 4.11.x. where x is 1,2,3 etc. Version 4.10 .10 is my last working version -- so advice don't upgrade SAMBA if poss to 4.11 especially if you have any devices still using SMBV1.

    This will affect using things like Amazon fire sticks for streaming stuff from Computers / NAS, Phones, Tablets to smart TV's etc

    I think a lot of this is also caused by the latest Windows "Security" fixes in Networking -- I LIKE security --but not at the expense of it hosing up the Network !!!! . You might find also latest version (fast release) of Windows running as a VM may have problems accessing a NAS / Linux server too with some versions of SAMBA.


    Direct connection via IP address still works but it's a pain though.

    Best solution --stick to SAMBA 4.10.x until bug(s) is / are fixed.

    @martyfelker -- downgrade SAMBA on ArchLinux / Manjaro easy enough --use /var/cache/pacman.pkg and then block that package from update until bug fixed.

    Use command (as root) # pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/package-old_version.pkg.tar.xz

    (Also same for SMBCLIENT if you installed that too or you'll get a library conflict !!).

    For people with other NAS / Linux systems - you'll have to refer to the documentation for that particular OS.


    Cheers

    Samba 4 and NAS / Windows shares on W10 and Linux servers / clients

    Hi folks
    there's a lot of confusion about how to set SAMBA up if you have any sort of Linux type system in the mix whether host , running as a NAS or in VM and Windows 10 mix.

    the best way is to do the following

    1) Enable SMB1 on W10 -- while it might not be recommended it's perfectly safe for a home LAN
    2) disable the feature to remove SMB1 if not needed
    3) in the SAMBA configuration file in the [global] section add the following to the file (usually in etc/samba directory) :
    a) max protocol = NT1
    b) name resolve order = bcast host "don't bother with wins or any of that other stuff
    c) netbios name = REFUR "or whatever your computer name is
    d) case sensitive = no "that gets round computer names / workgroup or WORKGROUP etc etc
    e) local master = yes
    preferred master = yes
    os level = 25
    dns proxy = no
    auto services = global
    interfaces = lo enp2s0f0 "(or whatever your LAN interface is -- use ifconfig to check --keep the lo one in as well
    bind interfaces only = yes
    server role = standalone server


    Forget all the domain stuff - not needed for home type servers etc --you aren't running commercial VPN's or cloud applications for paying users !!!.

    Restart the server (better) or simply stop and start services nmb(d) and smb(d) on the NAS. Check you haven't made a typo in the Samba file by typing command testparm on the NAS / Linux machine.

    Now you should be in business

    check on the NAS / Linux machine as root or sudo with command :
    service nmb(d) status -l some distros have nmbd others have nmb. If the service command doesn't work or not available then use systemctl status nmb(d)

    Linux Samba settings to display Windows shares

    Hi folks

    Samba needs a different setting to display Windows or any of the SAMBA shares - especially if its version of Linux / NAS server needs / uses SMB1

    You still need to set the SMB1 option in Add features to windows of course.

    also in the samba config file ensure this line is in the global section


    [global]
    max protocol = NT1 <===+++++++++++++++++

    (Not client max protocol !!)

    what this actually does (apart from working !!! ) I have no idea but it fixed 4 Linux machines which suddenly stopped listing Samba shares under network. I saw the suggestion on some weird website - have no idea of the link though - must have been imbibing some of those nice malted fluids kari likes. !!!

    Works also with ubuntu guests as well as Hosts and Centos guests and hosts. haven't messed around with other Linux distros as I don't really use them.

    BUG Samba 4.11 so wont see shares NAS / LINUX users

    How do I connect to Samba share on Linux box as specific user?

    Since this is a SaMBa issue with Linux, I suggest using the SaMBa and Linux references that are available. You basically need those shares setup to allow the user and password to be logged in to access, unless you have them set for public.
