I need to use a Windows bookkeeping program called Sage.
The version I have is installed on Windows XP, a VBox VM.
Changes to samba have prevented me from mapping samba shares to XP
drives.
Although most other programs on XP are happy with Vbox`s shared folders.
Sage is not. This means I have save backups to the "C" drive before
copying them to another "drive", a VM shared drive so that I can be
confident that if the XP VM corrupts, I will still have the backup safe
on a Linux folder.
Given that the Samba setup works perfectly with a Windows 10 VM on
the same computer. I decided the problem had to be because the NT1
(SMB1) protocol had become so deprecated as to no longer do my bidding
despite my edits to smb.conf.
Please stop yawning.
I tried replacing the latest samba with an earlier one which meant
compiling the source. That led me down a dependency path that drove to
despair next I decided to install LMDE 5 and install VBox and samba
from that.
VBox wouldn`t install. The log as so often was impenetrable.
So unless a member of this auspicious group come up with a game changer,
I`ll stick with what I have.
Actually I intend to retire before the end of next March so it isn`t to
much of a chore. Just bloody irritating!
