Thank you Rowland for your fast reply but we still don't get the anonymous
access.

With systemctl status smb I get this:
Feb 06 17:22:38 pcserv16 systemd[1]: smbd.service: Deactivated successfully.
Feb 06 17:22:38 pcserv16 systemd[1]: Stopped smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon.
Feb 06 17:22:38 pcserv16 systemd[1]: Starting smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon...
Feb 06 17:22:38 pcserv16 smbd[31728]: [2025/02/06 17:22:38.570578,  0]
../../source3/smbd/server.c:1741(main) (red color)
Feb 06 17:22:38 pcserv16 smbd[31728]:   smbd version 4.17.12-Debian started.

Is it expected?

Yes, that is as expected, it shows that the Samba fileserver deamon
'smdb' has started.

Does the user you are trying to connect to the fileserver exist as a
Samba user on the fileserver ?
