Unsurprisingly, we have a station LAN with some servers on it, and some of the data accessible to all users is shared on a network server as an SMB share. A quick backgroundĪs some of you may know by now, I’m currently working at Halley Research Station in Antarctica. It turned out, however, that it’s not so easy to do anymore due to less-than-secure authentication method supported by the server, which by default is not supported on the OS X. I have recently come across an issue where I needed to mount a Samba share from a server I have no control over, on to my trusty MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan.
