When I created the User Documentation page "Configure Samba to Work Better with Mac OS X?, my intent was to help others in the same situation I am: I have a WD MyCloud (Gen1) running an old version of samba (4.3.11) with no expectation that the firmware would be upgraded for the latest & greatest samba. The device is still usable, but was not optimized for Macs, so I ssh?d into the device to modify the smb.conf based on the man pages of that version of samba and vfs_fruit. I had noted in the wiki in which version of samba various parameters had either appeared or changed to help others with non-current versions of samba. Slowfranklin has removed most of my original wiki, presumably to bring it up to current defaults, however, it makes it more difficult for users with old versions of samba. I would like to revert it to my 22 Apr 2019 version, but don?t want to get into back & forth edits with Slowfranklin. Slowfranklin, if you are reading this, can I get your agreement to revert. If you have any changes for more recent (or current) samba version, we could just note it in the wiki. Todd

If you have any changes for more recent (or current) samba version, we could just note it in the wiki.Please don't revert my changes, instead add what you see now as missing for helping users with older releases as a new section at the end. -slow -- Ralph Boehme, Samba Team https://samba.org/ Samba Developer, SerNet GmbH https://sernet.de/en/samba/ GPG-Fingerprint FAE2C6088A24252051C559E4AA1E9B7126399E46
Hai, Personaly, i agree with Todd, having a few clear examples with the samba versionnumbering in it. How about, adding a sub page in : https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X With something like a section that shows : "User contributed examples" Rowland *(and Ralph), what do you guys think? Why not add a section like that for most things. That give Ralph room to add he wants and the sub allow users to add examples based on : OS, samba Verion or something else.

Rowland
Hai, Yeah, i did read it that most where default settings. Now i dont use any IOS/MAC anymore so i cant test/setup these things. And can you explain why not, that might help me understand it more. ( if needed PM me. ) Why im pro such extra page.. The wiki now provide now basicly, as Ralph told, the settings focuses on the latest versions. 4.10 4.11 To many distros out there, to many old samba versions are out there, to that will increase questions on the samba list. Providing a few clear setups, could help out here a lot. As said just a suggestion.
