Hi I upgraded from an older nightly to the current one which is:

Code:
FreeNAS-11.2-MASTER-201808310859


I noticed that smb is not started after reboot. I tried starting it by hand in the new UI but it is not starting.

So I tried

service samba_server start

which gets me

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba_server: WARNING: /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf is not readable.

The reason for this is that it's not there any more.

So where is it or how do I create it?
How does the gui create it? Is there some kind of script I can invoke?

Hope someone can help.

I'm not sure the nightlies are functional at the moment. The interesting development is going on in the 11.2-STABLE branch.

I'm on 11.2 stable, and I have the same issue i.e. samba won't start, with error: WARNING: /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf is not readable.
smb4.conf is actually not present: How can I create this file?

Update: If I manually create smb4.conf the service starts, and I can see the share configured in the file. However, if i stop the samba_server service, it won't restart, and the smb4.conf file disappears.
