    dhclient : Job for smbd.service failed

    I've set myself the challenge of turning off Network Manager, and configuring my wireless adapter manually.
    (I'm a noob, and I thought it would be a good learning excercise !)

    Good news is that I have some success.
    Down side, is that in the process, I am getting some error messages and I'd rather work them through rather than ignore.

    Code:
    sudo service network-manager stop
    sudo ip link set wlan0 up
    sudo wpa_supplicant -B -D nl80211,wext -i wlan0 -c supplicant.conf
    sudo dhclient wlan0 -v
    The above gets me an internet connection and I am able to surf away happily.
    However, the dhclient line does produce err messages.

    Code:
        Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.3.1

    	DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
    	DHCPACK from 192.168.1.254
    	
    	Job for smbd.service failed. 
    	See 'systemctl status smbd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
    	invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "reload" failed.
    	bound to 192.168.1.75 -- renewal in 37624 seconds.
    Doing as I am told, I looked at systemctl & journalctl
    Code:
    systemctl status smbd.service
    ● smbd.service - LSB: start Samba SMB/CIFS daemon (smbd)
       Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/smbd)
       Active: inactive (dead)
    
    journalctl -xn
    	No journal files were found.
    I've googled Samba.... but really struggling to find/understand what the problem is.

    Please could someone point me in the right direction ??

    Code:
    sudo ifconfig wlan0
    wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  
              inet addr:192.168.1.75  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

    Did you get this sorted out? Did you start the service? service smbd start
