Ah, I think I understand this a bit better now. Kodi runs smbclient
from a GUI. Can you get to a CLI on Kodi ? If so, running smbclient
directly may give more info.

Hai, 


smbclient -L  $(hostname -s) on CLI, wworks witout problem on ubuntu 18.04,
with the newly builded samba 4.9.1 package from repo and the kodi 18 Beta4.

I also noticed that kodi 18 has some setting now in
/home/kodi/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml

    <setting id="smb.legacysecurity"
default="true">false</setting>
    <setting id="smb.maxprotocol"
default="true">3</setting>
    <setting id="smb.minprotocol"
default="true">0</setting>
    <setting id="smb.winsserver"
default="true">0.0.0.0</setting>

Its a headless server so in this case im unable to test from within kodi, atm. 
But Michael count try to to adjust the maxprotocol from within kodi and see if
that helps.

Greetz, 

Louis

OK, tested latest Kodi from git on Devuan 2, with Louis's 4.9.1
packages, I cannot get it to crash (I cannot get it connect either, but
that's another story) ;-)

So, could this be a Fedora problem ???

Kodi is a GUI app. There is no "shell" or "exit to shell"
feature. It calls library
functions and does not call the "smbclient" command-line tool.

Any changes to guisettings.xml requires entering the GUI and toggling the
settings.
I've tried setting Min Protocol to None, SMBv1, SMBv2. I've tried
setting Max
Protocol to None, SMBv1, SMBv2. No combination of settings works. Kodi crashes
the
same way (in libgenrand-samba4.so, opening /dev/urandom) each time.

This looks like a Samba bug so I'll file it.

Thanks,
Michael
