Need help w/ReadyNAS SAMBA configuration
A change Netgear made as they upgraded RAIDiator 4.2.20 to 4.2.22 (for Intel) and 4.1.8 to 4.1.10 (on Sparc) was to change the SAMBA configuration in a way that stops older CIFS clients from accessing...

Samba configuration in the newer firmwares defaults to forcing NTLMv2 authentication.
You can edit /etc/smb/smb.conf but it will be regenerated anytime you make a change to CIFS in Frontview (and on reboot as well, I believe).
Best option is to find out what architecture the MP3 players are reporting themselves to Samba as and edit the appropriate /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.<arch> file. Since the CE build isn't based on NT and I think Windows for Workgroups is shooting a bit too old, it's probably going to be Win95 or UNKNOWN.
I think you'll need to add:
client ntlmv2 auth = no
and possibly:
client lanman auth = yes
Support won't recommend this because it's out of the scope of support, they can't be expected to support custom configurations and even recommending a custom configuration would lead to them having to support it. I don't have any Pre-NT machines to test this out with, so not entirely sure this will work, but it's easy enough to revert and try something else.
