This should fix issues with making MacOSX talk to Ubuntu (Samba)
- Make sure that you are not currently connected to any Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers and that you do not have any Samba or Windows-related error messages open.
- Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
- At the prompt, type: sudo pico /etc/nsmb.conf
- Press Return.
- Enter your password when prompted, then press Return again.
- You should see an empty file and a "New File" notice at the bottom of the pico window. If you do not see the "New File" notice, this file already exists.
