Система ArchLinux, имеется минимальный конфиг:
[server@dga-serv ~]$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP security = user [Pomoika] path = /mnt/p1/ guest ok = yes read only = No

проверяем конфиг:
[server@dga-serv ~]$ testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384) Processing section "[Pomoika]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE [global] idmap config *: backend = tdb [Pomoika] path = /mnt/p1/ read only = No guest ok = Yes

запускаем:
sudo systemctl start smbd nmbd

проверяем:

[server@dga-serv ~]$ ps -ef | grep smbd root 1485 1 0 17:38? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/smbd -D root 1488 1485 0 17:38? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/smbd -D server 1616 1150 0 17:58 pts/0 00:00:00 grep smbd [server@dga-serv ~]$ ps -ef | grep nmbd root 1483 1 0 17:38? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/nmbd -D server 1628 1150 0 17:59 pts/0 00:00:00 grep nmbd Проверяем Samba: [server@dga-serv ~]$ smbclient -L localhost -U% protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED
