The problem was:

How can a Mac user access a specific share on a network where network security is controlled by a SAMBA 3 (NT-style) domain?

The conditions were:

1. We have a /Public share on a CentOS file server.
2. Security on that share must be referred to the Primary Domain Controller, and NOT controlled by an access list on the file server. 3. ONLY domain users must be able to access the share; no "guest" access allowed.

The solution was:

Don't use SMB2 on the Mac.

Since the user was running OSX Mavericks, which runs SMB2 by default, the machine had to be forced to use SMB1.

The solution, as presented in the ZDNet article I posted earlier (http://www.zdnet.com/mavericks-smb2-problem-and-fixes-7000022519/), was this:

echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf

I want to thank everybody who contributed to solving this problem.

I really enjoyed learning more about SAMBA and the Mac.

Thanks!
