[Samba] Windows Server 2019 / Windows 10 LTSC can't access samba shares on Debian stable 4.5.12

Hello Rowland,

I see. I don't see the smbd process with 4.9.1 but it works. Strange.

> Please define 'access', as in how are you trying.

Accessing a guest share (see the config files I posted).

> Yes, that is correct, Windows now as 'guest' turned off by default.

I see. I didn't know that. But that was my problem all along.
