Please help me to understand what is wrong

[Ricky Nance]

Adrian, so whats not really well documented is the fact that if your
distribution is running X, there is a good chance its running a service
like DNSMasq. The only way you can tell with samba if something is using a
port it needs is by checking /usr/local/samba/var/log.samba, or you can
check it with netstat -anp | grep 53 (53 is the port dns runs on, so if you
were getting other errors like ldap queries not working properly check 389
and 636). If there is something other than samba running on that port, that
is your issue. Unfortunately every distribution is a little different on
how to solve the issue, but google should be able to help you out with
turning off services from starting up. Good luck with your endeavors into
the world of Samba 4.
