Centos 7 / Samba and Win10 support (assume SMBv3 issue)

Post by russh » 2016/10/06 10:54:41

Hi,

I have a standard Samba setup with a simple fileshare for windows devices. The windows boxes have upgraded to Windows 10 and are now having trouble accessing the samba shares. Samba is at samba-4.2.10-6

My google-fu shows that windows 10 releases are expecting/mandating SMB v3 support. There is a configuration change to push Windows back to using SMB v1, but it appears that every Windows 10 update reverts this.
Therefore what's the minimum version of Samba that does or will support SMB v3? Some searching suggests v4.3?

Thanks in advance, and apologies if i've missed some critical information.

"Samba 4.1.0 contains the first release of our client tools and client library that work over the new protocols SMB2 or SMB3.
Note that SMB3 only works either to a Samba server version 4.0.0 or above, or to a Windows Server running Windows 2012 or Windows 8. The default protocol for smbclient and smbcacls is still SMB1 (the NT1 protocol dialect). An SMB2 or SMB3 connection can be selected in one of two ways...."

Source: https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.1.0.html

Additionally:
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 provides Samba 4, a combined set of daemons, client utilities, and Python bindings that allow communicating using SMB1, SMB2, and SMB3 protocols. "

Also perhaps have a look at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SMB3_k ... us#SMB_3.0 as I seem to recall Win10 uses SMB3.02 (but could be wrong).

Okay, so a bit of research.

Windows 10 requires Samba 4.3 minimum;

CentOS 7 ships 4.4.4
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

I guess it's time to upgrade your samba then.
