    An example can be found here:

    Be aware though that SMB monitors are broken starting in v10.1.0 through v11.3. Here is an alternative option if you are not running at least v11.4:

    Hi Cory, If the netbios is disabled in the smb.comf file, is there any way to make the smb monitor work? Right now I get the following errors: Invalid packet length, recieving SMB: Server stopped responding, session request to LTS1A failed, session request to *SMBSERVER failed.

     

    The smbclient call is as follows: smbclient -N -L LTS1A -I 10.90.43.111 -p 22

     

    smb.conf contains: disable netbios = yes netbios name = LTS1A workgroup = LTS1 server string = LTS1

     

    Thanks, Barbara
