Thanks for the mention John.

I have not tested every distro of linux but I have tested the
13/05/2025 release of Raspberry Pi OS lite, found here..
https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

To get that to play nicely the key is this...

Add the following 5 lines to the file /etc/samba/smb.conf

--------------------------------------
# Allow SMB1 connections for RISC OS.
   server min protocol=NT1
#   client min protocol=NT1
   ntlm auth=yes
unix extensions = no
---------------------------------------

In that file you'll find a line workgroup = WORKGROUP
and just under that a heading of Networking.

I chose to add the lines as the first item in "Networking"

I found it easiest to do this with nano as in: 
  sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Add the lines and that's basically it!

I also wanted to share the root on my Pis and to do that...

Add the following, I chose just above [printers]

[root]
   comment = root
   path = /
   writeable = yes
   only guest = no
   directory mask = 0777
   create mask = 0777
   force user = root
   force group = root
   public = no
   follow symlinks = yes
   wide links = yes

That will give you access to root.

Then you may find that other shares from the pi set by default can
annoy. To get rid ...

add the line 

   available = no

to the list under [homes] [print$]

To finish off, save with Cntrl-X, Y, <ret>

sudo systemctl restart smbd 

You should now be good to go.

Bob.
