Comment 3 Andreas Schneider 2012-05-11 09:36:04 UTC 
Do you have the following file:

/etc/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf

This should make sure that /var/run/samba (/run/samba) is created by systemd on boot.

Yes Server has the same file and it has following content in it:

[root@elm17f130 ~]# cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf
d /var/run/samba  755 root root

[root@elm17f130 ~]# ls -l /etc/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32 May  8 19:57 /etc/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf

------- Comment From baude.com 2012-05-11 12:55 EDT-------
@asn, that's an interesting point re: 'on boot' .  It appears that /run/samba IS created on boot, but not if you just yum install samba4.  Is there a way to account for this without a reboot?
Comment 6 Alexander Bokovoy 2012-05-11 14:35:30 UTC 
To confirm, the issue you are seeing is that someone needs to trigger running /etc/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf after the samba4 package is installed or otherwise samba will not work properly if started BEFORE the reboot.

I think we need to add 

/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create /etc/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf

to post-install script to ensure the content of the samba.conf is correctly processed.

Could you please confirm that running the line above manually allows you to start samba afterwards without reboot?

Hi Seenu,
I installed samba4 packages on f17 beta ppc64 , and verified by starting both the services smb & nmb .It could start successfully.
