Hi Rob,

Would this be due to not starting the nmb service? Samba provide two services smb AND nmb, you want to ensure both are running. HTH
Well, for AC DC mode, starting samb and/or nmbd ussues an error saying you would have to start "samba" instead - in this mode smbd and nmbd are not supposed to be started directly.
And "ps xa" shows identical process lists for the working variant "startet by "/usr/sbin/samba" and for the non working variant "/service samba start".
But I also had an idea what to check: Turning selinux off did fix the samba started by systemd. So it is a selinux issue.
