title: Samba share is read-only after upgrading to Mac OS "BigSur"
body: <p>Not sure if this is ok, but I just wanted to document for others how to work around this issue.  After upgrading to MacOS Big Sur, I was no longer able to write files to a sambashare hosted on a local network Linux machine.  Turns out that I was connecting as a &quot;guest&quot;.  What finally worked for me was to make the connection [Cmd+K] and enter the user along with the ip address on my LAN:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7go5S.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7go5S.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>smb.conf for the share looks like this:</p>
  <pre><code>[devshare]
     comment = Local Cover Images for BIS
     path = /home/steve/dev/share
     Valid users = steve
     read only = no
     browsable = yes
  </code></pre>
  <p>After clicking [Connect] with a <em>valid user</em> in the address, I was able to both read and write to my [devshare].</p>
