[Samba] Encrypted samba mount on Linux

[amit kumar]

Dear Team,

I am trying to use this option on RHEL-6.9(samba3.6) version while
accessing samba shares, but its not working??
Is this kernel specific or package specific also?

setup is something as this:
                 *[RHEL 6.9]**    **    **    **    **    **    **  
 **    **    **    **    **    **    **    **    **    **   
[windows-client]**    **    **    **    **    **    **    **    **  
 **    **        [RHEL-client]*
                        |  (samba 3.6)                               
                                     |                                  
                             |
                        /samba-share                                  
                                   |                                  
                             |
                    # vim /etc/samba/smb.conf                          
                           |                                          
                     |
                        smb encrypt = mandatory                      
                             |                                          
                     |

There are three ways to get something done:
  (1) Do it yourself.
  (2) Hire someone to do it for you.
  (3) Forbid your kids to do it.
