I upgraded a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS samba to 20.04 yesterday Testing it I find 
the Samba part of the server is no working properly.

The new Samba Version 4.11.6-Ubuntu. The PDC is running 4.7.6-Ubuntu. I 
plan to upgrade the PDC as soon as I finish this one.

The server is a MEMBER SERVER of a NT4 style domain. smbd, nmbs and 
winbind are running but wbinfo and getent don't seem to be getting 
anything. I cannot browse the computer.

I have not edited the smb.conf file.
The output of testparm and the global section is below.
> # testparm
> Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
> Loaded services file OK.
> Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER

I think it likely that the problem is caused by changes in the Ubuntu 
networking.
