Hi all, first post here. Just wanted to say thanks for the great distro.
With the introduction of Window 11 24H2 Microsoft have enforced SMB signing and disabled the use of guest accounts. On Pro it can be overridden by group policy, this isn't available for Home Edition users and is probably best left in it's default mode anyway.
Some details here SMB Signing and Guest Authentication | Microsoft Community Hub
I installed a test copy on to a spare pi and checked as I wasn't able to access my main installs and didn't want to mess them up.
SMB signing seems fine it's the password less access to the guest account that fails. I did create a new user and then add that to samba, the permissions were all messed up so it wasn't like connecting with the guest account as before, but I could connect.
Any work arounds for this or a way to introduce an official way of doing this going forward?
Thanks again for the great distro!
