Same on my system. A quick and dirty hack that one probably shouldn't do: # cd /usr/sbin # ln -s smbd samba # systemctl restart samba I did this so the official systemd unit was not modified in case that is the fix. Then the upgrade will be easier without collisions.
The issue still happens, also with samba-4.2.9. I also created the link from /usr/sbin/smbd to /usr/sbin/samba. 'systemctl status samba' does not show any errors, but it seems me, that there are no running samba server or NetBIOS name server processes. root@impala:/usr/sbin(310)# systemctl status samba ● samba.service - Samba AD server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/samba.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Mar 27 08:44:02 impala systemd[1]: Stopped Samba AD server.

I set "log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m" in /etc/samba/smb.conf. And as you can see from comment 2, I started samba.service today, i.e. at Mar 27 08:49:17, but there are no changes to the log files since yesterday: root@impala:/root(10)# ll /var/log/samba/ total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 26 21:20 log. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 26 21:20 log.192.168.1.60 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 26 21:20 log.leopard -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 768 Mar 26 21:21 log.nmbd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3167 Mar 26 21:51 log.smbd
I can confirm that this issue still exists.
This samba.service is to start the Samba Active Directory Domain Controller service (aka ADDC) and the corresponding USE=addc flag is what controls whether a /usr/sbin/samba binary is installed or not. For a regular samba fileserver, you should be starting smbd.service (and possibly nmbd.service) instead. That said, the samba ebuild probably shouldn't be installing samba.service unless USE=addc is set.
