yeah, there’s a few mistery files regarding WD networking

 

smbd and nmbd does exist

 


Kind of a PITA to trouble-shoot since you cannot use any of the options to setup a debug level and get the output. Locked down a bit eh?

 

-P 

since smbd and nmbd does exist

they can be killed and then restarted with options

it’s the /bin/networking that’s a bit of a mystery

but as for smb in general, I don’t have any issues here to trouble shoot

we’d really need somebody with smb problems that’s willing to do packet captures

and if they are even more adventurous they can try my homebrew and test different smb options

or even use tcpdump directly on the WD

but if somebody is actually that willing, then I wouldn’t understand why they would not just mount the smb shares manually and by pass the whole WD samba issue entirely

startup scripts are already in place for that
