Samba 4.1.17 for ReadyNAS Duo v1 (sparc)
Hi all, I just picked one of these old guys up for super cheap. I kept finding posts where people were told that you couldn't get any newer versions of Samba on it, but I decided to try anyway. ...
After some bit trial and error (had to learn editing files in Vi lol) I also made it work and finally could close SMB v1.0 support on my Win10 machine. Many thanks to the OP on this thread! After upgrading my x-raided Sparc to 1Gb RAM + 2Tb everything seems to be working smoothly (sorry, Netgear, things have been overly expensive these times!).
A remark I think it's worth is that I couldn't connect to my shares without enabling guest logins in Gpedit.msc (which is kinda unsafe but wouldnt't make such a difference in my home network). This is disabled by default on W10 (as in previous versions I was able to connect normally even with SMBv3). I tried to connect with the same user that I created through the frontview panel in the NAS but without success, so it tries to connect with my MS account and fallback to the guest one, so it connects as long as I disable this security check. If any experienced Windows user did make it work, I would appreciate how it was done!

Have you tried this test? Open CMD on the PC and enter
net use * /delete /y
net use z: \\nas-ip-address\sharename /user:username userpasswordusing the real NAS ip address and sharename of course, and the username and password you created for the account in frontview.
The first command closes out any open SMB sessions, the second maps the share to drive letter z.
