CIFS Service could not be started

[OasisTech]

Hi,

I running a new FreeNAS server (version: FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE-201605021851) where the CIFS service will not start (all other services start without issues). I've looked through the available documentation and forums but haven't found an answer. Any suggestions?

What information do you need to help?

Thanks.

From the FreeNAS Documentation, Release 9.3.1 (I'm almost sure it still applies for this):


If the CIFS service will not start, run this command from Shell to see if there is an error in the configuration:
testparm /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf

You can post the results here.

Thanks for the response @OasisTech, but due to seeing VMware in the output,
I will not be able to help as I know nothing of virtualization.
Did you notice the WARNING: The "null passwords" option is deprecated?
Perhaps try unchecking that option and then try starting the service.
