I was able to find the new service files grepping the package listing. The changes are, smbd.service -- replaced by -- smb.service nmbd.service -- replaced by -- nmb.service Normal service file change update required: # systemctl stop smbd # systemctl stop nmbd # systemctl disable smbd # systemctl disable nmbd # systemctl enable smb # systemctl enable nmb # systemctl start smb # systemctl start nmb This solved the breakage. The journalctl -xe message about needing winbing in standalone mode was misinterpreted. samba 4.8 is working. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
