And they broke the fix

There are unconfirmed reports that the patch breaks certain configurations of SMB file sharing:

https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=34406677#p34406677

This security update breaks SMB file sharing if you don't have the "Less secure" password setting turned on. If you don't have that setting turned on and try to connect to a patched Mac, your password will not be accepted. Quality work, Apple.

Only thing I still read is BOFH -NT - (drook) - (3) - Nov. 30, 2017, 08:35:09 AM EST

And the BOFH kind of lost its way years ago and never really recovered. :-/ -NT - (static) - (2) - Nov. 30, 2017, 07:38:05 PM EST

Not what it used to be - (drook) - (1) - Dec. 1, 2017, 05:49:36 PM EST

The BOFH and the PFY come across as just mean, now. -NT - (static) - Dec. 2, 2017, 02:16:57 AM EST

And they broke the fix - (pwhysall) - Nov. 30, 2017, 05:31:41 AM EST

It's been that way for a long time. - (Another Scott) - Nov. 30, 2017, 07:39:57 AM EST
