The big thinks you need to look at and change to your need are at the bottom. I tried at least 10 from others, but found I had to piece this together by testing and testing and testing. Below is the final smb.conf I put together that works. It took A LOT of trial and error before I was able to get it working and running quickly. In my environment I tested OS X 10.11 El Capitan and macOS 12 Monterey just to make sure that my oldest and newest client worked. There seems to be 2 big things to point out here, the first is that you need the right sprinkling of pixie dust in your smb.conf ( sample below ) and you need to have avahi advertising to the macOS clients. The way I do this is by making /var/At this point you are likely thinking … “Ok dude, just install Samba fill out your config file and your done!” Yea, I was thinking that too, but this turned into a classic example of a 5 minute job turning into a several day job! It essentially serves as an internal archive, but I share the folder to allow me to directly edit files as though they were on my local machine. One of these was my local web server that keep old projects on. Since at this point Apple has removed all the “Server” out of macOS Server I decided that I would start running ESXi 6.5 on my Xserves and start using Ubuntu VM’s to start taking over services. Shame on Apple big time for the way finder handles it! Config file info is below! TLDL: You appear to need BOTH samba and avahi installed with just the right magic in your config files or MacOS freaks out and finder stops responding till you do a hard shutdown of the machine.
