oh god my samba configuration broke

I never have a good time when I have to remember samba exists

good news! the problem wasn't samba, it was windows
@foone Samba, from macOS to Debian, somehow requires that the username - when entered on the Mac - is provided in uppercase or it simply doesn't work.
@growf @foone that's due to #SMB & #Apple's reimplementation of it because #Samba going #GPLv3 necessistated that.

@growf @foone I use the same lowercase username that I created using smbpasswd on Debian to mount my Samba shares on macOS, other Debians, and Windows. Are you bumping into an AD policy thing?

Maybe adding a mapping to /etc/samba/users.map will help?

@foone samba was simba's brother right
@foone i've always wanted to invest in the stock market, how do i buy file shares?

@foone

I'm so glad I was able to cut samba out of my life by replacing it with sshfs.

@foone we have some bespoke samba config made a few years ago, tailor-tuned to work down to WfW3.1

it is hell to manage, i emphatize with you

@foone samba

di janeiro

@lritter thanks now that’s in my head /cc @foone
