OSX Lion is a POS...Now SMB doesn't work!

10.7.2? Pre-release?

Regards,

Ben.

You're inspiring me to not touch Lion at all. =D

Fortunately, I have no hardware that requires it so I have time. Not deploying it for Fall, that's for sure.

"The upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Server will remove the formerly bundled open source Samba software and replace it with Apple's own tools for Windows file sharing and network directory services, according to AppleInsider."

"However, "AppleInsider" says the Samba team has moved active development of the project to the more strict GPLv3 license, which prevents Apple from using the software commercially. Developers tell "AppleInsider" that Apple has internally announced that it will pull Samba from Mac OS X Lion and Lion Server, and replace it with Windows networking software developed by Apple."

There were A LOT of articles circulating the net well over two months ago that purported the absence of Samba from Lion.

Anyone tried using MacPorts to install Samba 3 on Lion?

Rhys.

Looks like they did similar in Rhel 6... Everyone will most likely be
following suit.

We now know Samba is dropped and why, but has anybody figured out what and
how the “Apple” developed M$ networking is implemented yet?

Thanks

Again this goes into my issues. How can we support an OS we know almost nothing about.

Guys, what issues are you seeing?

10.7 connecting to win2k8 r2 SMB shares works fine.

Mac is bound to domain, but was testing with a local account.

Ben.

AD Binding works then doesn't allow anyone to connect. Dot is red but AD is Green.

So AD's not allowing login?

I can login using ad accounts on the same computer.

Didn't you mention that your servers do not have reverse lookup addresses? Will a hosts file help?

Regards,

Ben.

We checked with DNS and everything looks ok.

So if you do a host lookup of your domain, then lookup each return address. All reply?

Ben.
