I wonder why they haven’t fixed it yet by removing bash and the other GPL-licensed tools. Even if they currently need one to boot the system, they have the resources to change that.



I refuse to drop Samba and go back to AFP


Are you sure you’re using Samba? AFAIK, Apple removed that years ago (I think because it’s GPLv3 licensed)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block#Netsmb:

“NSMB (Netsmb and SMBFS) is a family of in-kernel SMB client implementations in BSD operating systems. It was first contributed to FreeBSD 4.4 by Boris Popov, and is now found in a wide range of other BSD systems including NetBSD and macOS“

https://appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/23/inside_mac_os_x_1...:

“The upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Server will remove the formerly bundled open source Samba software and replace it with Apple's own tools for Windows file sharing and network directory services”

I also think they complete removed AFP support.
