I've been able to fudge my way around SysV init.d for years, but I've just run into a systemd brick wall. Googling hasn't been successfull in finding a likely solution.
I installed Fedora 18 a while back, and then added samba, but when I tried to activate it via the sytem/services gui winbond, nmb and smb do not appear on the list. The files winbind.service, nmb.service and smb.service appear in /usr/lib/systemd/system In fact, those are the only files that refer to them anywhere. If I try to manually start them: > sudo systemctl start /usr/lib/systemd/system/winbind.service Failed to issue method call: Unit usr-lib-systemd-system-winbind.service.mount failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status usr-lib-systemd-system-winbind.service.mount' for details.
... I found a solution by accident - you need to systemctl enable winbind and then it will appear in the "Services" gui and you can start/stop/disable it. (Or just use the "start" option above and don't bother with the gui.) /rant on So what is the point of making it all gui based when there are bits missing? Case in point - I put together a new box today, and did a fresh install with the (appalling) Fedora 18 installer, selecting XFCE as the desktop, and when I finally got to start the desktop selected a "default" panel. No "Services" tab, and no way to insert it. How is an amateur sysadmin going to turn stuff on and off? /rant off
