    Does anybody have a copy of the pre-compiled Sparc version of SAMBA 4.1.17-1?

  • Thanks to macOS 27 refusing to use AFP  for Time Machine Backups,  I'm also looking for the same file, can you point me in the right direction, please?

        In case anyone else is on the same road as me:

         

        Installing the SAMBA 4.1.17-1 software onto my Duo v1 went smoothly and connecting to it from macOS 27 Golden Gate established a SMB3.0 connection. This allowed me to upload and download files using Finder.

         

        Unfortunately, it did not satisfy the 'Time Machine over SMB' specification of macOS 27. This seems to need the SAMBA vfs_fruit module:

         

        https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_fruit.8.html

         

        which requires Samba version 4.6.0 or later.

         

        So, after 16 years of 24/7 service I think it's finally time for my Duo to retire :-(
