I have smbup installed, path to ntlm_auth is bash_profile, version is good. POM doesn't seem to have the same path cause it can't see it?

I have also tried installing samba with macports, path OK, version OK, POM doesn't work.

How can I debug the wine path you use?

err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

ntlm_auth --version

Version 3.2.15

So, PlayOnMac isn't reading the correct path. For example, go in OSX terminal,

echo $PATH

Then in PlayOnMac, Configure -> Miscellaneous -> Open a shell

echo $PATH

They are different. Macports uses /opt/local/sbin and smbup /opt/local/bin.

Solution:

edit /Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/MacOS/playonmac (its only a bash script).

Replace the first line: 

#!/bin/bash

with 

#!/bin/bash --login

Path should now reflect your operating system's one. Thank you to pango_ on IRC! :D

Interesting. It's going to be fixed for the next release

OK. I added it to the wiki for the time being.

Great! I am not sure using --login is necessarily the best though. I now have an error about strings, it may or may not be related. Please debug this. Instead, since the bash script sets its own path, you could simply add /opt/local/sbin (macports), /opt/local/bin (smbup) and /usr/local/Cellar (homebrew). Pretty much the standard ways of installing ntlm_auth on OSX.

Have a good day.

There is also a bundled component in PlayOnMac to install ntlm_auth for a given app ;)
