Samba package 4.9.x samba smbd not playing with winbind.

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Rowland. 

You did not install winbind. That is where the problem is. 
If winbind is installed, then you have the error. 

Ok try this.
apt-get remove --purge samba winbind 
apt-get install samba winbind 

( if not started, try ) 
/etc/init.d/winbind start
/etc/init.d/samba start

And dont change anything in the smb.conf, does samba start now?

If already tested in different start orders and my results are always the samba. 

So 2 solutions ( workarounds ) for now. 

net groupmap add sid=S-1-5-32-546 unixgroup=nobody type=builtin

Or 
Enable : 
   idmap config * :              backend = tdb
   idmap config * :              range   = 3000-7999 
By default. 

This works fine also. 
   idmap config * :              backend = tdb
   idmap config * :              range   = 3000-7999 
   idmap config BUILTIN :        backend = tdb
   idmap config BUILTIN :        range   = 2500-2999 


Both work and this is a small change in the default. 
Im happy with these change, (for now).
More about this, because its not fully correct. 
Im testing this a bit more.. 

Greetz, 

Louis
