Thank you Stewart, Going back to basics, I checked what ports smbd listens: netstat -lnp |grep smb tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8330/smbd
My smb.conf had an 'smb ports' option with a note: #Added ports option to clear the error: 'getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected' smb ports = 445 I commenting out the line, restarting samba, and now smbd is listening on tcp 139 and 445 and mac clients can connect just fine. netstat -lnp |grep smb tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8330/smbd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8330/smbd Thank you for your help. Looks like a mac client requires tcp139.
