ASUS AX 6600 smbclient connect to windows share

[deveals]

Hello and good day!
Attempting to use smbclient and connect to windows file share for storing performance/diagnostic reports and backup files.

Code:
smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = MYDOSNETWORK
wins support = yes
# server string = AX6600
security = user
dos charset = ASCII
max protocol = SMB2
passdb backend = smbpasswd
unix charset = UTF8
log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 0
max log size = 5
pam password change = no
max connections = 5
disable spoolss = yes
host msdfs = no
strict allocate = no
use sendfile = yes
store dos attributes = no
dos filemode = yes
oplocks = yes

Code:
# smbclient -L '\\MYDOSNETWORK\windows-samba-share' -U username%userpwd
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /opt/var/lock/samba: No such file or directory
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /opt/var/lock/samba: No such file or directory
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /opt/var/lock/samba: No such file or directory
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /opt/var/lock/samba: No such file or directory
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /opt/var/lock/samba: No such file or directory
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /opt/var/lock/samba: No such file or directory

Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin

SMB1 disabled -- no workgroup available

Questions:
1. How to correct/stop "directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /opt/var/lock/samba: No such file or directory"
2. How to correct "SMB1 disabled -- no workgroup available"

Thanks. Danny.

Remove any Entware SMB packages, they conflict with the router's built-in version of SMB.

If you're using Merlin's firmware just mount the remote Windows share.

Hello and good day! Response appreciated and sorry for the delayed response, but now returning to this project. I attempted activating/utilizing Asus Samba but was unsuccesful. As a result, I returned to accessing Windows share and identifed the following combination requirements (to list files on the share):

Code:
smbclient -I 192.162.x.x "\\\computer-description\\sharename" -username%password --command="ls *.*"

Thanks. Danny.

Just to mention that there is a bug in the current firmware that requires the md4 module to be manually loaded before mounting an SMBv2 share.

Beta - Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

Will the new beta incorporate the new AMTM version 3.5? The firmware contains a stripped down version, which downloads the full version. Just run amtm and initiate an update to grab 3.5.

Insight appreciated and that explains some of my challenges accessing Asus Samba share from Windows. If Windows share doesn't work for future projects, I'll return to Asus Samba share and keep in mind the need to mount md4 module manually before mounting an SMBv2 share

Thanks. Danny.
