  1. Me engaging on #Smbd ("Samba") mailing lists about support for "larger" (eg 64kB) key/value attributes on filesystem level (#xattrs):

    Good news! 🥳

    > "in 2021 we added smbd max xattr size with a default of 64KB."

  2. So. Ich weiss jetzt das der #smbd auf meinem #synologyNAS nach ein Paar Tagen viel Last (CPU) produziert - aber sinnlos. Ein synopkg stop SMBService bringt den Spuk wieder runter auf normale Werte. Kennt Ihr einen Weg das zu automatisieren? Sowas wie "Wenn Last bei >8, führe einen Befehl aus"?

  3. CVE-2023-3961: #smbd allows client access to unix domain sockets on the file system

    A client sending a pipe name containing unix directory traversal characters (../) could cause #Samba to connect to arbitrary unix domain sockets as root.

  4. What a pain! Spent ages trying to get #samba working on #lxle focal 64. Able to prove that samba was installed but the #smbd service was refusing to start. Also, trying to connect as a client to other servers failed. Eventually decided to blow away the smb.conf file, replacing it with the default. After that I was able to start the smbd service. Then able to connect to shares and advertise them too. No idea why the "as installed" smb.conf file was such a mess, and needed to be exterminated 😠
