[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#883939: RE: smbclient failing to connect with default protocol SMB3_11

[Matthew Foulkes]

I have now heard from the administrators of the file server to which I 
had trouble connecting. It turns out not to be a Windows machine but a 
Netapp system running ONTAP 9. This supports SMB 3.1.0 but not 3.1.1, 
explaining the problem.

Although I am surprised that smbclient and the Netapp SMB server are 
unable to negotiate an automatic downgrade to SMB 3.1.0, I don't think 
this problem is worth reporting to the Samba developers. It may be just 
how the SMB protocol works.

I won't close this bug myself because David Sanders reported seeing 
similar problems when connecting to a Windows 10 SMB server. If someone 
else wants to close it, however, I will not object.

Matthew
