Connection issues with recent Samba versions and the DNS-323

I was trying to connect to my DNS-323 from my laptop running a recent version of Ubuntu. When I attempted to map a share I received the following error.

Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

The solution is to put

  1. client lanman auth = Yes

in the local (client) smb.conf file.
