[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

This is the error that was logged:
Job for smbd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status smbd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "start" failed.

Unfortunately it doesn't say why exactly the smbd service failed to

Could you please attach to this bug the following files:
- /etc/samba/smb.conf
- /var/log/samba/log* (files starting with "log" from the /var/log/samba directory)

Thanks!
