I was playing around a little, and thought I’d install a samba-client on the osmc server as well. I shouldn’t have done that. At the end of the installation, this error appeared:
Job for smbd.service failed. See ‘systemctl status smbd.service’ and ‘journalctl -xn’ for details.
The client installation broke the server, it seems. Removing/purging the client and rebooting didn’t help. I now get this error when I try to start the smbd server. And the samba network shares naturally doesn’t work.
systemctl status smbd.service gives this:
smbd.service - LSB: start Samba SMB/CIFS daemon (smbd)
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/smbd)

journalctl -xn gives:

Nothing in the log.smdb or log.nmdb files either.
Any ideas?
