antsleOS 0.5.0 / antMan 0.9.3a

I'm trying to reach my antlets via samba. So in antMan I tried to turn on Samba under the Settings > System Services. When I click on Start, I get the following error (or see attached):

SA-1: Error * start-stop-daemon: Failed to start '/usr/sbin/smbd' * start-stop daemon: failed to start '/usr/sbin/nmdb' * Error: starting services (see system logs) * start-stop daemon: no matching process found * ERROR: samba failed to start

/var/log/samba is empty, and /var/log/daemon.log and syslog show the same output below.

Jun 22 14:54:08 myantsle /etc/init.d/samba[10481]: ERROR: samba failed to start

Any thoughts one where to go from here?

I'm hoping there is a fix coming soon for this, until then....

My current work-around (a bit janky and a little less secure) but gets the job done so we can be functional: Raspberry PI on our local network is acting as a proxy file server running Samba and mounting the Antlet via SSHFS over sftp.

I'd still like to free up my PI to be used for something else.
