Sorry, Samba  version 4.11.2-13 is running on CentOS  8.  My smb.conf is
shown below, sans comments:


[global]

        workgroup = EgliFamily
        server string = Samba Server Version %v
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        security = user
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        acl allow execute always =  true
        load printers = yes
        cups options = raw

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        writable = yes
        directory mask = 770
        create mask = 660
        acl check permissions = no

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        browseable = no
        guest ok = no
        writable = no
        printable = yes
