I added "server max protocol = SMB2" to my smb.conf file.  After restarting
smbd, I tried to connect using a windows 10 client and was denied (error
message on the client and server says that a parameter is incorrect).  I
rebooted the PC and tried again.  No go...  So apparently it's not possible
to force W10 to downgrade to SMB2?

I'm really hoping someone is able to give me something to go on here,
because now I'm really stuck....
