After upgrading to 10.5.3 I can no longer login to my RedHat ES4 shares

Hello,

I am a new Mac user so please forgive me if there is a simple answer to this question...

Since I installed the 10.5.3 update over 10.5.2 I can no longer login/connect to my RH ES4 (SMB Version 3.0.10-1.4E) shares. I can still login to my CentOS 5 (SMB Version 3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4) and my older RedHat 7.3 (SMB Version 2.2.3a) shares, as well as a few windows shares, without any problem. It is just the RH ES4 shares that I can no longer connect to.

For legacy purposes I configured SMB on both my MacBook Pro and the above mentioned servers to use plain text passwords. To do this on my MacBook I created nsmb.conf in /etc which contains the following...

default
minauth=none

Everything worked perfectly minutes before the upgrade to 10.5.3 and nothing else in the network, software or hardware, has changed.

Upgrading to 10.5.4 and that did not fix the issue either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom Boilard
 
OK...for those who are interested I have found a solution. I upgraded my ES 4 servers to samba-3.0.25b from samba-3.0.10 and I can mount the shares without any problems.

In short OS X Versions > 10.5.2 have issue mounting shares from RedHat ES 4 running samba-3.0.10.

Thanks,
Tom
