Hi, I'm in the process of replacing my samba server 3.6.x (Debian wheezy, stable) to samba 4.5.x (Debian stretch, stable). I'm facing one mageor opstacle: When I do "net view \\<SAMBA-3-SERVER>" a list of the available shares is displayed. But if I do the same command "net view <\\SAMBA-4-SERVER>" I get the following error: "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied." If I enter the username/password when prompted everything is working as expected. Obviously, there has been some mageor changes between samba 3.x and samba 4.x but I can't seam to find an explanation for this behavior. Is there a way to get the samba 3.x behavior on samba 4.x? In other words: why do I need to enter credentials prior to be able to "net view" the available shares. -- John Doe

Might help if you posted the smb.conf from 'SAMBA-4-SERVER' (and 'SAMBA-3-SERVER, if it is different) Rowland
