I changed /rc/bin/service/!tcp445 to:

	#!/bin/rc
	exec /bin/ip/cifsd -f /sys/log/cifsd.debug -w WORKGROUP -o trspaces $*

(The only thing I thought made sense to change was the workgroup, it now matches the Windows PC).

And then ran aux/listen. Am I supposed to find a new network share on the Windows PC now? I don't.

Jacob mentioned SMBv3 support, but going through the Windows features I could enable SMBv1/CIFS support, which didn't help.

I thought I should check the debug log - /sys/log/cifsd.debug doesn't even exist. How do I check if the service is actually running?
