Good catch.  It should've been .lan

How do you start samba on boot with Debian?  Everything I see says to use
systemctl start smbd but that always fails.  In the initial wiki it said to
start Samba with 'samba'.  This does start but I rebooted that server so
Samba wasn't running.  How do you set Samba to start on boot?  On other
systems I use systemctl enable --now samba but there is no samba service on
Debian it appears and starting the smbd and nmbd services always fail.
