I recently upgraded from wheezy to jessie.

I was relying in samba providing guest access to various key folders in my home directory for virtual windows machines to have access to key data

After the upgrade samba no longer runs and if I try and start it it says "service is masked"

/etc/init.d/smbd and /etc/init.d/nmbd exist and I can use the service command to start them

But I don't appear to have these shares available to my virtual windows machines.

How can I make it so samba starts automatically (like it used to before the upgrade) and how can I make it so it provides guest access to these shares.

This is my (unchanged) /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = Home
security = share

wins support = no
printing = cups
printcap name = cups


[clienta]
path = /home/alan/clienta
force user = alan
read only = no
guest ok = yes

[dev]
path = /home/alan/dev
force user = alan
read only = no
guest ok = yes

[clientb]
path = /home/alan/clientb
force user = alan
read only = no
guest ok = yes

[clientc]
path = /home/alan/dev/clientc
force user = alan
read only = no
guest ok = yes


[printers]

comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no

guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root
