Hi, over on the Samba mailing list, somebody asked what '--with-systemd'
was for. It has now degenerated into a discussion on how to get systemd
to start the 'samba' deamon, after approx 50 posts on the subject, the
discussion is still going on.

I thought that they said systemd was better than init scripts :-D

see here for the first post:
