Smyrna Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I had a hard time getting my "SMB Share Connections" to work after updating to 10.4.6 and looked all over this forum for a answer and finally figured it out by reading multiple posts and using info from a number of them. So I though I would make and easy Guide with the combined info for anyone new to OSX86 and the update. I in NO WAY take credit for the fix and would like to thank all the posters who helped come to a Resolution. This is the procedure I used.... This Guide is assuming you are running 10.4.5 and you HAVE your 10.4.5 install DVD! 1. First open Terminal located in Applications-->Utilities 2. Make sure root is enabled! If it is not enabled you can enable it by typing "sudo passwd root" This will ask you for your current password the it will ask you to set the root password and verify it. 3. Now you must BACKUP your extentions directory (/System/Library/Extentions) using this command at the prompt: "sudo tar cvzf ~/Desktop/10.4.5_Extentions.tgz /System/Library/Extensions" (it will ask for a password use the one you Enabled on the root account) This command will make a Backup of you Extentions directory to a file named 10.4.5_Extentions.tgz on your desktop. 4. Now install the 10.4.6 Update and let the computer reboot. 5. Once the computer restarts open terminal again and put your "Install DVD" in the drive. 6. In the terminal use this command: "sudo cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ Disc\ x86/sbin/mount_smbfs /sbin/mount_smbfs" 7. Now leave terminal open and extract the 10.4.5_extentions.tgz file by Double-Clicking it The go back to Terminal 8. In the terminal use this command: "sudo cp -r ~/Desktop/System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext/ /System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext" Followed by "sudo diskutil repairPermissions /" 9. Type: "reboot" in Terminal 10. Now you should have SMB back! It worked for me!

jboxer Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thank you for this info. I had already updated to 10.4.6 but I had backed up my 10.4.5 extensions folder. smb was not working after the update and this fixed it.

motaman Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Is this to address connecting to a Windows share (for example W2k3) which isn't working for me (keep getting invalid password connecting to a machine on my home domain)? Or is this for the reverse, sharing out folders to a Windows PC? Thanks!
