This logged error says exactly what you did wrong.




> server role = standalone server

Did you provisioned this server via samba-tool? You shouldn't have this
line in your smb.conf. 'server role' is currently only supported on AD DCs.

Was this file shipped with Ubuntu packages?

Just to make sure, that you followed what the log entry told you did
wrong: You started now the 'smbd' binary - not 'samba', right?

If you start via init script/systemd, please check out what binary is
started. If unsure, check the 'ps' output or run 'smbd' manually, to
make sure, that not the 'samba' binary is executed.

Hi Marc, either:
A) Thunderbird is downloading every email except the ones from the OP
B) The OP is contacting you direct
C) I am going mad (no it can't be that, I have always been mad )

What ever it is, is there any chance you can get the OP to share their
posts with us, I hate one sided conversations (see C)

I think you will find this is a Samba shipped file: see
<samba_version>/examples/smb.conf.default
I feel a patch coming on.

I thought the initial post was send to the list via BCC, because the
header just contained:
> To: undisclosed-recipients:;
and I don't expected to be contacted directly because the salutation was
just "hello". And the second mail from the OP was directly to me.

Sorry for confusing. :-)
