[Samba] smbclient NT_STATUS_NTLM_BLOCKED

[cYuSeDfZfb cYuSeDfZfb]

Hi,

I have configured my (RHEL9) standalone samba server with "ntlm auth =
disabled" because we understand that ntlm should be disabled nowadays.

However, we can no longer use smbclient (4.17) to connect to that server,
as:

session setup failed: NT_STATUS_NTLM_BLOCKED

We have also set these on the server:
client signing = mandatory | server signing = mandatory |  smb encrypt =
mandatory

How dangerous would it be to keep ntlm enabled? We do need to support
smbclient access. What else can we do to enable smbclient access?

Thank you!
