Very true so. However I'm not sure what to do about the reject: md4 parts are not welcome, however upstream also doesn't know: https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools/issues/218
Well, that's really unfortunate and I hope it's a misunderstanding of why md4 is used. True, md4 and the like are insecure and shouldn't be used anymore - but if software wants to implement a protocol that (practically) requires md4 it's a different story. There is simply no sensible smb implementation that doesn't need md4 (and Samba uses it as well).
I think the linked thread[1] is a pretty good discussion on that topic. Especially https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-cifs/msg22573.html seems a good summary why md4 is needed.
I hope ftp masters can be convinced by good arguments... Best regards Philip [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-cifs/msg22555.html
