Created attachment 175260 [details] Suggested patch for the handbook The Handbook has not been updated with the startup script for Samba4 in /etc/rc.conf. See /usr/ports/UPDATING 20140420: AFFECTS: users of net/samba4 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org Samba4 port now re-uses the same logic and startup script as Samba41. So, to get net/samba4 runing you need to rename samba4_enable in /etc/rc.conf to the samba_sever_enable. samba_server_enable="YES" Startup script tries it's best to guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd daemons have to be started, but you can fine tune this by specifying them in rc.conf, just make sure that samba_server_enable is enabled(see entry for 20121022). Added a patch for the Handbook describing enabling the Samba4 server in /etc/rc.conf.
