This would be nice, I just need an easy way to connect my apple tv..

This was a popular request on the old uservoice page, can we please get some information about the Pogoplug dev's opinion on this request? SMB support would, with all the other features already available, turn this powerful but still niche product into something I could recommend for anybody looking to manage their media locally and remotely. It would, in essence, become the category killer for a growing section of home users wishing to see their files from anywhere, but won't or can't set up a full server.

I just tried the above referenced article:

and was able to get samba 2.2 functional but only in security=share mode,
not security=user mode.
I decided to bail on that because I want to have the user/password option.

On the other hand, I can't get smbd to start when I use the regular samba package (3.2.11 i think).

So for the time being, I'm not using samba, but would really like the option.

ianjb, yes I went through those instructions but still could not authenticate. I am running windows 7 RC, but win7 succeeds in authenticating with an ubuntu samba share (smbd version 3.2.3) on my network. I am more suspicious of my configuration than those instructions. Hopefully I can try an XP machine soon and report results. thanks
