Unless I read wrong (You must not start the samba service on a domain member. This service is required only on Active Directory (AD) domain controllers (DC).), the domain member shouldn't have the samba services actually running on it, correct? If that is the case, how do I make it a file server? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In all things, Be Intentional.

For a standalone server, you only start the smbd binary (with optionally nmbd for SMBv1 and browsing). For an AD Unix domain member, you need to start smbd and winbindd (again optionally nmbd for SMBv1 and browsing). Rowland
