You cannot use sssd with Samba, even red-hat admit this, you will need
to install these packages:

samba winbind libnss-winbind libpam-winbind libpam-krb5 ntp krb5-user

You will also need to setup smb.conf correctly.

That could be your problem, I have lines in sources.list like this:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main contrib non-free

Once you get Samba to install, you should upgrade it, 4.9.5 is EOL from
Samba's point of view, see here:

http://apt.van-belle.nl/

I know they are for Debian, but they work with Devuan.
