Some Linux post-OS installation steps

Too insignificant for my Linux tips & tricks book but significant for me

Windows network folders over Samba: Some old content servers cannot be updated. Ubuntu refuses to browse their shares. Edit /etc/smsmb.conf and these lines after where the Windows Workgroup is defined.
```
client min protocol = NT1
server min protocol = NT1
```
PHP MBString: Some CommonMark-related functions in my SqlSiteServer failed in the new OS. Needed MBString library. This extension did not require the PHP version when installing the package.
```
sudo apt install php-mbstring
```
VPN: VPN connections did not work out of the box.
```
sudo apt install resolvconf
```
