i am the author of cifs. i may have some slightly more recent fixes than 9 front has, i will check.
the manual page does explain some registry settings you may need to tweak to get it to work - to do with windows getting more and more restrictive about the authentication protocols it supports. the bottom line is i had cifs working to windows 10 a couple of years ago but these days i have a mac for work so i no longer need it. to tell the truth i have become a go programmer which is great, but also a little sad, as i have mostly left plan9 development behind. i will report in a day or two if i have any patches to contribute. -Steve > On 10 Apr 2022, at 1:15 pm, Tomás S.
