Lpcfg_do_global_parameter: WARNING

General Discussion

Below an an internal Samba process message (3 X WARNING) when running testparm

  • WARNING: The "..." option is deprecated: This is the key part; older options are no longer recommended (e.g., encrypt passwords) because newer security standards exist (like smb3).

I am running Dietpi (Trixie) and everything is updated (SW).

Not sure what action is needed?
