sambo not starting after upgrade to jessie

[Canedje]

I upgraded an older Wheezy raspberry pi to jessie.
I succeeded except getting Samba running again.

after command :
sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
I get the error:

Code: Select all

[....] Starting nmbd (via systemctl): nmbd.serviceJob for nmbd.service failed. See 'systemctl status nmbd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
 failed!

after command: sudo systemctl status nmbd.service
I get:

Code: Select all

How to start Samba again?

[DougieLawson]

Start by running sudo testparm

[Canedje]

This gives:
sudo testparm

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'ewh' for parameter 'map to guest'
Error loading services.

after blocking this 2 rules

# security = user
# map to guest = ewh

and running sudo testparm again gives:

Code: Select all

[DougieLawson]

guest (with a GEE) not quest (with a QUEUE).

[Canedje]

it is guest with a GEE.
That is not oke?
I changed it in a q Quee

After deblocking these two lines an try to start Samba it starts

[DougieLawson]

Re-run testparm until it works without any errors. Then restart smbd, nmbd and winbind and they should work OK.

[Canedje]

thanks again
It works
