Hello,

I was configuring Samba on my OpenBSD 7.2 server and wanted to support
iOS/iPad OS and macOS clients.
The documentation for Samba states that the following vfs options are
required to support these clients:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
. . .
vfs = catia fruit streams_xattr
I run a Samba server that does not have these options set - but
successfully serves iOS/macOS clients.
Apart from that, smb.conf(5) does not have the parameter "vfs", only
"vfs object"/"vfs objects" (which are aliases).

Hi Marcus,
Yes, you are correct. That line should have been:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
. . .
In regards to running Samba without the: fruit vfs module for Apple
clients, what version of macOS/iOS/iPad OS are your clients running ? I
have found that running a current version of macOS (Ventura 13.3.1 (a))
and using the TextEdit app to save to the Samba share does *not* work in
an install *without* fruit (I tested a Samba config with: fruit on a
Ubuntu VM for comparison)
