I have upgraded to Ventura
I have upgraded to Ventura and while the modifications are not bad, Apple managed to wreck something that was working very well on previous macOS versions and also on countless linux servers around the world. Yes, I am talking about Samba.
Sometimes, when you desperately need file sharing to work, the quickest way is to downgrade. I gave up after hours of time wasted with timeouts, reboots, disable/enable file sharing, chasing custom attributes and what not...
So, like in this situation, you may need to roll back. But downgrading is not as easy as upgrading. For example, in this situation it involves removing the current operating system along with the data. So, before doing that you need time machine backup or to clone the existing disk on an external one.
In short steps to downgrade from Ventura to Monterey:
1. perform a time machine backup - use an external usb disk with spare space
2. boot into the already created macos monterey installation USB stick
3. quit installation and open disk utility - erase the existing disk (the one with Ventura on it)
4. you will be restarted after the erase process (stupid new thing) so you need to boot again to the USB stick mentioned at point 2
5. install monterey on the disk erased at point 3
6. during the migration assistant process, connect your backup disk (with time machine backup files) and choose "from a mac, time machine backup or startup disk" and select as source the disk
7. done!
