Hi Ralph! I guess I figured Ubuntu would be off-by-one. :)
I'll upgrade, had hoped to avoid a full network forklift but
it's perhaps due.

I think it would be good to refresh the wiki regarding this.
I did find

	https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X

which does in fact state the 4.8 requirement in rather fine
print, but the page says things like "here are suggestions"
to "improve operability with Mac OS X", and "as far as I know".
I'll see if I can help improve it after I muddle through the
situation.

Tom.
