[Samba] Connecting to samba server from android TV Box

[Alex]

Hi,
I've finally found time to get back to this and have created a
wireshark trace that can be found here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uLps-uEpyHOiA5BjPMq33OmOASB4rjz7

This trace includes from the time the device gets its IP from DHCP
until it reports a login failure.

I had previously reported the Android box reports "mount fail" despite
being able to see the available shares on the SMB host. After the
wireshark trace, it appears after it completes the authentication with
the SMB server and gets the share list, it stops communicating over
the network and just reports "mount fail".

Here's the last message produced in the logs for that host:

[2020/01/23 09:49:58.409470,  4]

  Using static (or previously created) service for user 'dave'; path =

Why would it succeed to be able to get the list of shares then be
unable to open them? It must be something about the information it's
already received.

Thanks for any ideas. The information I reported previously on this is
printed below.
