Samba help urgently needed

I have an openSuse 42.1 server having 4.7.0-1-default kernel. Two machines are connected to the server, the first one being openSuse 42.2 having 4.4.104-18.44-default kernel, and the second one being openSuse Leap 15.0 having 4.12.14-lp150.12.48-default kernel.
Yesterday, I upgraded the second machine (Leap 15.0) with the above mentioned (new) kernel, and file sharing via samba does not work any more between the server and the Leap 15.0. The latter is allowed to open files in read-only mode. Also no copy/paste is allowed. On the other hand, the file sharing between the server and said first machine (openSuse 42.2) works fine; well no upgrades have been done.
Help to resolve the matter is urgently needed, since my work is on hold for two days.
Thanks all of you for helpful tips and hints.

Share the smb.conf for the affected machines. That might help others to advise further.

smb.conf of the server:

# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.

There was an update in the kernel that only version 3 of samba is supported by default, or you have to enable explizit in your fstab by adding vers=1.0 to your mount line…

  • smb3: Improve security, move default dialect to SMB3 from old CIFS
    (bsc#1051510).

Many thanks. It works now.

Good to know.
