As previously announced, `initscripts` are no longer receiving any testing and

support has been dropped from various packages. Any users still using them

should switch to `systemd`.

 

`initscripts`, `sysvinit` and the various `rc` scripts are being removed from

the repositories to avoid any confusion about their status.

Wondering if this is where my SAMBA issue came from, believe I am still running SAMBA via init especially considering the error I got in webmin about /etc/rc.d/samba ? Hmmmmmmmm

Run

 

Show the status of a unit, including whether it is running or not:

for these units

 

 

samba

smbd.service

nmbd.service

File and print services for Microsoft Windows clients.

 

an it will tell you if they are running on systemd.
