I configured a Centos 8 server on the network with Samba installed and working great. Because it's used by Mac clients, I added the following to the smb.conf:
min protocol = SMB2
vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
fruit:aapl = yes
fruit:metadata = stream
fruit:model = Macintosh
fruit:posix_rename = yes
fruit:veto_appledouble = no
fruit:wipe_intentionally_left_blank_rfork = yes
fruit:delete_empty_adfiles = yes
Despite the fruit:model = Macintosh
macOS machines see the ugly icon with a beige/blue CRT monitor, the same icon we see when we browse a Windows PC.
I have a Raspberry PI on the same network with the exact same Samba configuration but the server shows as a beautiful iMac icon in the Finder / Network. I tried various settings for "fruit:model" and none will show anything other than the ugly Windows blue-screen-of-death icon.
Is there something that can be done about this?
