For information to Mac users planning to use smb protocol.
I had difficulties to fix this but finally made it by searching the net, use the following steps and you will be alright.

Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
At the prompt, type: sudo pico /etc/nsmb.conf
Press Return.
Enter your password when prompted, then press Return again. (if you are not used to terminal window, the cursor will not move when typing your password)
You should see an empty file and a "New File" notice at the bottom of the pico window. If you do not see the "New File" notice, this file already exists.
Enter the following into the file so that it appears as follows:

default
minauth=none

Save the file (press Control-O), press Return, then exit pico (Control-X).

Type: sudo chmod a+r /etc/nsmb.conf

Press Return.

Restart your computer and you are ready to go with NASLite and smb protocol :D

Should be:

[default]
minauth=none

brackets are important on "default" they denote a "section".

from the nsmb.conf man page:

Quote:
The configuration hierarchy is made up of several sections, each section containing a few or several
lines of parameters and their assigned values. Each of these sections must begin with a section name
enclosed within square brackets, similar to:

[section_name]

This doesn't work for me. I am still getting the prompt for username and password. Anyone else in the same situation?

MBPro
10.5.6

I'm on Leopard, so that might be a reason why. A search on the net revealed bugs with SMB but nothing of that sort.

{EDIT}

I simply wasn't using the correct command to connect to SMB Shares (I was using the "export" instead and obviously that was not working.
