[Bug 1579562] Re: Still unable to access unpassworded NTFS shares with 4.3.9 Fix

[Slee]

ok, seeing that the latest updates were causing problems with
unpassworded NTFS shares...and the last update fixed it for some, my
issue is still with accessing a drive on my router which is unpassworded
ntfs.

I formatted a USB stick for ext3 and plugged it into the 2nd USB port on
my router. The boxes I haven't updated to the past 2 previous updates
can access it fine, this latest samba update(on this box) still won't
connect to an ext3 formatted drive, so this issue(for external
harddrives on routers) doesn't just affect just win shares

  Still unable to access unpassworded NTFS shares with 4.3.9 Fix

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  original bug #1572876 was marked as fixed as it solved OP's issue, but
  it isn't working for me(and others reading through the comments)

  Hello, I too was hit with this
  issue(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1572876) on
  updating to 4.3.8, updated to 4.3.9 and still the same issue follows.
  Although my shares I'm trying to access aren't on another computer,
  but an external USB HDD on my router.

  My external drive is NTFS with no password/share enabled, but in my
  router I set users' access(username/password) to access this external
  HDD. It worked fine prior to the 4.3.8 update, now when I try to
  access via Thunar, the login floater just keeps popping up not
  allowing me to access HDD.

  I've even tried to set my user account in my router(HDD access) to
  match my Ubuntu account credentials, still fails.

  I was on Xubuntu 14.04 when this update occurred, several days later I
  installed Xubuntu 16.04 and issue followed.

  Thanks
