I’m sure you can get away with that in home network, but it’s not really an option on a large enterprise.
It’s not an option here either. I have found that I MUST run Samba and the NT services to share any ‘doze drives or partitions with the various flavours of OS’ I run here, and this particular one is not working too well at that.
Keeps insisting on a User Login and Password, but while it will accept the users I do have it simply seems to choke at the password and keep on demanding the identical information no matter what I do.
Bloody annoying.
