10.4: Accessing older SMB servers
Authored by: b00le on Jun 28, '05 04:45:35AM

I'm still looking for a solution to my Tiger SMB problem. After upgrading (archive & install) I can connect to a shared volume on our Snap Server, but the volume appears empty and I can't even create a new folder, although Get Info says I have priveleges to read and write.

I've tried this hint. I've tried logging on using Cmd-K, using the terminal (smbclient doesn't work at all.) Console shows "mount_smbfs: spnego blob2principal error 1", whatever that means. Never had a problem under 10.3.

I'm the only mac in the company and I've never had to even speak to system adminsitrators about a problem before - this is really too much food for the Mac haters, always lying in wait...

Can you get the apple networking turned on in the Snap.
I had the same issue, tried the above hints above to no avail so I flipped on the Apple networking and I was functional.
I emptied the nsmb.conf because I did not know the delete command in the shell. For fun I tried to locate the file using Spotlight so I could delete it there but no results.
Regards,
Harry

Yes - turned on Apple networking - no good. Not only that, I can't make a public folder available on the Mac to the rest of the network, so something is really broken here. So far I'm getting by with sneakernet and a flash drive, or ftp - which does work. Hoping not to have to reinstall...
