Nautilus on !FritzBox NAS

Due to buggy Nautilus (last tested with GNOME 42) only the following works:

  1. Install samba-common package to get default /etc/samba/smb.conf

  2. In /etc/samba/smb.conf under [global] add

    client min protocol = NT1

Important: THIS IS VERY INSECURE! This configures your system to use the insecure and legacy SMBv1 protocol.

Consider alternative using a more secure CIFS mount in /etc/fstab like this
