I tried this with Ubuntu Mate 16.04 trying to access -> a winxp and win7 share. I did apt-get update/dist-upgrade and it brought in samba 4.3.9 I added Ivan's 3 lines in [global] of smb.conf (see 2 posts above), I entered userid & password and selected "Remember Forever" and I can access the shares. The popup window is a bit annoying but at least now I can access shares.
I will test with my 14.04 and 15.10 and report back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572876 Title: After Samba upgrade can't access unpassworded windows share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/1572876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
