As per title.
Following release of ubuntu 16.04, the use of samba causing massive spike in cpu termp and other nonsense relating to having to use all kinds of passwords to access shares even though initial share configuration meant this should not be required.
Migrated back to 14.04 as a consequence of the above. But, following “updates” similar nonsense started occurring on 14.04. So can only assume this has been “back-ported” (or whatever the term is) from 16.04 to 14.04
Pulling hair out for several weeks. But, following further updates, problem seemed to settle down. But, in the last few days, following further updates, samba is now completely broken in both 14.04 and 16.04. Have also tested this on Lubuntu 16.04, Linux mint 18 and Debian 8 on different machines. All now have file and folder network sharing broken
I am now going to install Debian 7 in the vain hope network sharing on that is NOT broken
This is completely ridiculous
