What issue? You're specific issue with Samba on MX-19 is that you need it to work with Windows XP and 98se correct?

If the only way to do this is to change your local Samba configuration to allow SMB1 capabilities, then do it, it is your choice.

Samba isn't broken (that I know of) in MX-19. Samba not defaulting to allow SMB1 is not a regression, it is a important safety and security choice made by the Samba team.

The issue is you want to use legacy non-supported versions of Windows, you have to change your Samba configs to allow this.

I'm not trying to come off as harsh, but treating this as a MX and Samba issue, when its not. You'll have the same issue running any other distro.

I am sure the web has info on changing the Samba config to allow use of SMB1 and anything else that is needed.
