I have installed FreeBSD 11.1 and installed SAMBA. It is running, SAMBA says it is the master browser for my workgroup. This is a home network. No AD. All I want is for a few W7 and W10 computers and a Mac (iPad/iPhone as well?) to be able to read and write files to the SMB server. I cannot get it to authenticate a user. What is the process I should be following please? Which type of authentication should I use, there seem to be a couple of choices. I don't want to expose my files if anyone hacks my wifi but I don't want to make life difficult for myself. The windows computers are using the HomeGroup thing rather than a workgroup. The FreeBSD guide just seems to be rubbish and out of date. Most discussions seem to centre around AD. Is there anything I need to do to the Windows computers? Cheers, Richard
