I have a NAS with Samba and NFS shares, if I can access and use the NFS shares without any problems it is impossible to access the wanted Samba shares at all !
I have CIFS utils installed, and I have declared the ip of the NAS in the 'Hosts' section in the mcc.
But still nothing appears in the Samba shares tab of the mcc

so I can't access any Samba share from my Mageia 8.1 computer.
I can access the samba shares on the NAS fine from another OS comptuter with a ridiculously small piece of software (some kilobytes)... and Mageia 8.1 Samba don't work ?!?
I can't use NFS on the other OS computer (way too old NFS software there) so I'm stuck with Samba to access the NAS with that computer

So I tried to set an NFS share on the same directory as the Samba one on the NAS, and can access it fine with mageia... BUT I see nothing that has been copied via samba in this directory! Why ???
How a super linux like Mageia cannot have a working Samba ???
I need help there on this, anyone have a viable solution to make that ?@#!? samba working on mageia 8.1 ?
Thanks by advance,
Jeff
