request for help with networking sorcery (a bit long) 

let's see if i can explain this in a way that makes sense and doesn't make me sound silly

i want to set up network file access for my home's local network, so i can access files from various devices without having to manually copy them over. every potential client i have is perfectly fine with SMB 3.0... except for one (a playstation 2 with some homebrew software), which only accepts SMB 1.0 for whatever reason. i don't want to enable a deprecated file sharing protocol for the entire network, so i'd like to limit it to as close to the troublesome client as i can.

is it possible to set up some kind of "relay," like in the diagram, that presents a network share or a subset of it to the ps2 via SMB 1.0 while the rest of the network can use newer protocols?

@typhlosion if you're using samba, you could run a second smbd instance on a different port that has SMB1 enabled and has very restricted access controls.

otherwise, I have no idea if a transparent SMB relay exists, but you could always just have a different machine mount the PS2 share with e.g. Linux's CIFS support, and then run its own smbd that exports that as a share :p

@typhlosion btw, if it would help, I have an smb.conf I set up for my PS2 that ought to still work correctly, and I can share some relevant config settings

@typhlosion here's what I came up with

[global]
    # default/irrelevant entries omitted

    # enable SMB1
    server min protocol = NT1

    # enable NTv1 encrypted password support
    ntlm auth = ntlmv1-permitted

    # restrict clients - can be set global and/or per-share
    # accepts several forms of host specs, see smb.conf(5)
    hosts allow = 192.168.

[PS2]
    path = /home/skirmisher/stuff/PS2
    comment = Open PS2 Loader
    # arbitrary user, use smbpasswd(8) to create & set pass
    valid users = opl
    # never try to set owner or ACLs
    inherit owner = Yes
    inherit acls = Yes
    # unfortunately necessary last I checked
    writeable = Yes
    # client assumes role of (UNIX) owner of files, to simplify permission checks
    # might make "inherit owner" redundant, but eh
    force user = skirmisher
