Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 23-final by Fedora user pwalter using the blocker tracking app because: Would be good to ship with working smb.service
Discussed at 2015-10-15 freeze exception review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-10-15/f23-blocker-review.2015-10-15-20.11.log.txt . We tested, and it appears this is an upgrade-only issue: on a clean install of F23, the samba from current stable (0.1.rc4) starts up fine. Upgrades always use the repos anyway, so there's no need for a freeze exception to fix the upgrade case, hence this is rejected (the update can go out as a 0-day and upgrades on release day will work).
