SAMBA 4.11.x Bugs- shares not reachable inc Windows --fixes

Hi folks

3 Get arounds to the Samba V4.11.x version(s) not showing (or serving) shares.

1) on "downgradeable" Linux / NAS systems downgrade 4 packages to samba 4.10.10-2, smbclient 4.10.10-2, libwbclient 4.10.10-2, ldb 1.5.6-2 (e.g samba,smbclient,libwbclient,ldb)

2) when upgrading block upgrade to these packages

3) on some systems undocumented (or hard to find) this could work --in the [global] section of smb.conf ( the configuration file) specify this : client min protocol = CORE --didn't work on my machine though.

This exposes a risk but some older NAS and other non windows things still use SMB1

I'm sure that because SAMBA is so widely used a proper fix will come out soon -- but given the COV-19 stuff who knows when teams working on these things are fully operational again.

Working with downgraded Samba with newest kernel and rest of system :
