[Samba] samba and mac clients

[John Stile]

Thank you Stewart,

Going back to basics, I checked what ports smbd listens:
netstat -lnp |grep smb
tcp   0   0 0.0.0.0:445  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  8330/smbd

My smb.conf had an 'smb ports' option with a note:
#Added ports option to clear the error: 'getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected'
smb ports = 445

I commenting out the line, restarting samba, and now smbd is listening
on tcp 139 and 445 and mac clients can connect just fine.  
netstat -lnp |grep smb
tcp   0   0 0.0.0.0:139  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  8330/smbd
tcp   0   0 0.0.0.0:445  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  8330/smbd

Thank you for your help.
Looks like a mac client requires tcp139.
