Can't Mount SMB/CIFS Shares in OS X Sierra Public Beta 4
Latest firmeware 4.4.28 and I suspect it's a Sierra issue but I see the drive and shares and am promtped to authenictate which seems to work. Trying to mount or view files results in a time out. Driv...
Hmmm... now I am being told AFP was *not* removed in macOS Sierra:
Apologies as I knew that. It wasn't removed. The only difference between you and I seems to be that you can browse via SMB and I can't. I can authenticate to both protoclos and see directories but never see any files.
Yeah, the commenter on the Apple Discussion boards was talking out of his butt, so that was bad information. Argh....
The consistent thing I am seeing is a problem with Authentication... AFP forces me to manually reconnect and authenticate each time I want to mount a share. Time Machine never asks me for credentials, and just fails when trying to connect, presumably because it can't authenticate. This does sound more like a bug, and less like intentional.
ovrdrvn - try removing all references to authentication to your NAS from your Keychain, see if that clears it up and lets you reconnect, at least by hand?
