I know my other command line tools on Linux are getting patched constantly. In fact, Samba might actually get more frequent patches than Apple's SMB. On Linux, I get updates all the time to my tools, yes, yes, Arch is kind of cheating since the whole OS is a rolling release.Įdited 1 time(s). Samba on the Mac, from a proper repository, is likely more up to date than anything Apple offers. I have no idea how secure SMB is on OS X, but Apple's patching of Samba in prior years was a flat out joke.
KODI FOR MAC OS 10.7.5 INSTALL
How about a ports system install of Samba then? I used to be a Fink guy, but I know most people moved on to Homebrew or MacPorts. If your ancient NAS or FOSS multimedia app can't deal with SMB, it's time for a new NAS or new multimedia software.Įdited 2 time(s). Any app or service that hasn't been updated to support SMB's very basic security by now - six years since Apple dropped Samba - is woefully obsolete and is not something you should be relying upon. You run it on a Mac to bypass the security features of SMB. And troubleshooting help is limited because professionals are never going to install a kludge like that in production, so few people will have contributed expertise to the community. It replaces the SMB service on the Mac with a less-secure kludge that doesn't receive periodic updates or patches the way the Mac OS does, it messes up mDNS and can break at any time with an OS update or security update. Does the app just install a recent build of Samba? If so, what's the problem.
The old Samba is not a substitute for SMB and can break at any moment. Now it shares out properly to other Macs and RasPis running Kodi. I used SMBup to straighten out my shares.
