Description:

Seems the samba systemd target was removed from the package at some point before its addition to the official repos; I was using an AUR version for a while since my daily pacman upgrade stalled on the 4.1 upgrade, and now that I've finished the upgrade my samba AD DC no longer starts. :( Was this an intentional change, or can the service file be added back? (Note that the smbd binary does not start configs of this type, it requires usage of the samba binary instead.)

If it was intentional, would there be an archived copy of the samba4 from the AUR somewhere? Would prefer using whatever was in that service file rather than cooking up my own. Thanks!

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

1. systemctl enable samba.service
2. Be sad

pacman -Ql samba | grep systemd


systemctl enable smbd

This is not a bug, the samba3 always used smbd to start.

Sorry to pester you on this, but smbd.service is used for stand alone file sharing etc, samba.service is used for Active Directory serving, samba will then start smbd as required. I was running samba.service and once it was removed, I could no longer run Active Directory services, starting smbd.service resulted in an error telling me to start samba.service. There may be some confusion as to the purpose of samba.service, but as it stands your can not use Arch Linux as an Active Directory server. I have manually used the file included in the upstream source to get this working again.

Please post the service file.

Have attached both the service file, samba.service and the environment file (I have it in /etc/conf.d/samba). I have only made minor modifications from upstream to correct some paths on my system.

Let me know if there is anything else you require.
   samba.service (0.3 KiB)
   samba.conf.d (0.4 KiB)

I was drafting a wiki article on deploying a SAMBA AD Domain Controller on Arch, but this is blocking.

I took the original files from the SAMBA tarball and made the same changes Mark did to get the service up and running.

Is there something holding this back?

No I just need the time to repackage.
