[Samba] Make samba look like a Windows 2000 machine

Hi all

I've got an odd problem that I hope you can help me with. I recently bought
an old Sonos music player, and I want to connect it to my music library,
which resides on a Raspberry Pi. Because it is an old Sonos box, it only
speaks SMB1. It also seems to be extremely picky about which SMB1 systems
it will talk to. I have been able to get it to use a share on a Windows
2000 VM, and for the Windows 2000 VM to use a share on my Pi running
Raspberry Pi OS (based on Debian), but the Sonos won't use the share on the
Pi.

Can anyone tell me what else I need to set to make samba look more like
Windows 2000? My smb.conf is:

[global]
min protocol = NT1
max protocol = NT1
ntlm auth = yes
ntlm auth - ntlmv1-permitted
lanman auth = yes
raw NTLMv2 auth = yes
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h server

security = user
encrypt passwords = true
passdb backend = tdbsam

valid users = andrew
force user = andrew
force group = andrew

[music]
path = /home/andrew/Music

Thanks

Andrew.
