{caveat: that seems to be based upon SysV Init, and R-Pi/Debian has been
converting to a different startup procedure -- so the /etc/init.d stuff may
not be up-to-date; also, all the crud about the WINS MMC feature requires
installing lots of Windows Server stuff:

}
{Though https://wiki.debian.org/SambaServerSimple seems to still reference
the init.d control along with systemd variant}

System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

 "pi-star-3b" is an R-Pi 3B running the Pi-Star (amateur radio hotspot)
based upon Jessie. "microdiversity" is an R-Pi 3B web-server running on
Stretch. It is firewalled to only allow local SSH and HTTP.

 It appears the Pi-Star system registers or otherwise has Samba enabled
(but has no shares defined?). Microdiversity, OTOH, does not register
itself.

 The Pi-Star systems has the samba stuff in /etc/init.d, whereas
microdiversity does not.

pi-star@pi-star-3b(rw):~$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

 Looks like the init.d route forwards to systemd/systemctl and actually
restarted more than just the smbd service.
