Samba Won’t Start On CentOS 7.3.1611
Hi folks,
I’ve been googling for an hour on this which seems to be awfully basic. But I cannot find anything definitive.
[root@CentOS-gig ~]# systemctl enable smb.service Failed to execute operation: Access denied
[root@CentOS-gig ~]# setenforce 0
[root@CentOS-gig ~]# systemctl enable smb.service Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
Have tried things like :
chcon -t samba_share_t /home/amckay
Also took the output from:
getsebool -a | grep samba
and set all them to “on”
Stripped my config down to the most basic.
What am I missing?
# Global parameters
[global]
netbios name = CentOS
security = USER
idmap config * : backend = tdb
[homes]
comment = Home Directories browseable = No inherit acls = Yes read only = No valid users = %S %D%w%S

Also tried this :

Does /usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service exist? It does not look like it based on the error above.
Does “rpm -V samba” show anything useful?
The selinux stuff means nothing if you have selinux set to permissive.
Is this a standalone server?
Does testparm show any errors?
HTH,
Ug – can’t believe it.
[root@CentOS-gig ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba samba-libs-4.4.4-14.el7_3.x86_64
samba-client-4.4.4-14.el7_3.x86_64

samba-common-tools-4.4.4-14.el7_3.x86_64
samba-common-libs-4.4.4-14.el7_3.x86_64
samba-common-4.4.4-14.el7_3.noarch
[root@CentOS-gig ~]# yum -y install samba
(and it goes on to install the one missing package)
Not sure how I ended up with everything but that one … thanks
