A good way to test whether Samba is working properly is to use the
smbclient program. On the Samba server, enter the following command, substituting the appropriate share and user for a connection:
#
smbclient //hydra/data -U tom
You should see several debugging statements followed by a line indicating the negotiated cipher, such as:
SSL: negotiated cipher: DES-CBC3-SHA
After that, you can enter your password and connect to the share normally. If this works, you can be sure that Samba is correctly supporting SSL connections. Now, on to the client setup.
