   it took me quite a while to tip my Linux drive upright again.   
   (A restore from backup didn't quite do what it was supposed to do.)   
      
   I did a do-partial-upgrade on a 20.04.3 to 20.04.5 and   
   the 4.15 SAMBA came in. Initially, nothing worked.   
      
   I added these to smb.conf, as an experiment.   
      
   server min protocol = NT1   
   client min protocol = NT1   
   client lanman auth = yes   
   ntlm auth = yes   
      
   and EVERYTHING worked after that. My test share ("server test") on   
   Ubuntu 20.04.5 worked (it was set up a while back), as well as the   
   client worked with a Windows 11 that had SMBV1 turned on in Windows Features.
