[Samba] samba.service is masked (Debian 9)

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

I suggest you read some of my howtos/tips. 

https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/howtos 

https://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/Upgrade-info.txt 	<< a must read in my opinion. 
This tells you also why service samba start is not working. (3.) 


Greetz, 

Louis
