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. Greetings Markus Steinborn
