6.4.0 changes share network access permissions for groups
Upgraded to 6.4.0, no other changes.
Now all windows users get network access credentials prompt when trying to access a share for which same users have always had access as part of a group of user...
An acknowledgement from Netgear that they have reproduced this would be helpful.
Hello,
I will post new information as soon as it is available.
Bye,

I think I have the same problem.
I bought a new UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for my server. I logged in to down the server, and saw the update. I saw the popup for an update...and FOOLISHLY thought 'why not, I'm rebooting it anyway.'
Upon reboot, I can login via a browser, but none of my computers can connect via windows/file explorer (or through links). When trying to browse in File Explorer, I get the windows login prompt...and it won't take what I know is a corect login/password combo.
I creaed a new account and tried that...no go.
I did notice in the windows dialog box that the domain is my computer name. I had previously clicked remember my credendials and i don't remember if that domain is correct. The computer name is not the same as the computer domain.
Hello again,
First of all thank you for taking the time to report problems here on the forum and apologies for the inconvienence any bug brings with it. The current status is that the problem was reproduced and has then been reported to the engineering team. They are working on a solution but I currently have no information about the cause nor an ETA for a fix at the moment.
Thank you,
Eskender
Presumably none of you are in domain mode. If that's the case, if you've got SSH enabled, this command should fix it for you:
echo winbind use default domain = 0 >> /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides
