After switching to systemd, I noticed that the >=net-fs/samba-4.1.0 ebuilds don't install a samba.service file to start samba 4 as an AD server. I'll attach a diff to the ebuild and a samba.service unit that atm goes into ${FILESDIR}/4.1. Perhaps it can be placed in ${FILESDIR} to be available to the 4.0 revisions, too, but I'll leave that to the maintainer. Reproducible: Always

I guess currently installed unit files are not enough for samba-4 ?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #3) > I guess currently installed unit files are not enough for samba-4 ? No, they are not enough. The current samba-4.1 ebuild only installs unit files for nmbd/smbd/winbindd. But in AD DC mode these daemons are not supposed to be started individually. In this case they are started by the "samba" binary (depending on the operation mode).

And to start it as a daemon with systemd the forking version is required.
(In reply to Chris Smith from comment #7) The systemd ebuild policy has been changed within the last year to favor forking when appropriate. Please file a new bug if another adjustment to samba needs to be made.
