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. ...
Tested here and it seem to have worked, I disabled the guest logins in the group policy manager, and still can connect to the newly added shares. Many thanks for this advice.
I originally posted as MusicLover2112 because I could not restore my original account at the time, but this is NeilPeart. I have now performed this upgrade on a ReadyNAS NV, NV+, and Duo v1, using the method described above. I recommend using an actual Linux machine (I just used an old Chromebook running Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1) instead of the WSL2 on Windows 11 - less of a headache to deal with some of the strange sha1-rsa issues that may arise. Even if one is not a Linux expert (I am far from it myself), the instructions are rather clear, IMO - worth the time if you still want to use the old machines as backups or something else, without exposing your modern machines by enabling legacy Samba access. Thanks again to bc732 for his awesome guidance (and others here for their input as well).
