I uninstalled the version I built and installed 4.9.4 from the archive above. No problems with the install but I can’t get smbd to mount my disk.
I am unclear about which daemons I need to have running. What I want to do is share a couple of disks on my network so the other machines can do backups over the network. Do I just need smbd?
I have set up local credentials for a single user ( super).
smb.conf:
