OK, so that Samba should be able to find and use the user map.

Yes  -which is why less is the final item in that pipeline - it has good
searching capabilities. Read the output from "man less" if you don't know
how to use therm.

...and none of the messages were output by smbd or nmbd - I did say that
you may have to look at other log files.

As it happens, my recent Buster upgrade install pulled in Samba (which I
didn't want) and it turns out that by default it puts Samba logs in the

/var/log/samba

directory, so the place to look for error explanations is in the logs in
that directory. What errors were reported there the last time you tried
to start and/or connect to a Samba share?
