The -x output merely points at this mailing list because systemd has logged
the message, but that doesn't mean we magically know everything about why
every daemon would fail to start.

Don't use the -x option; focus on the log messages themselves.

Also in this situation use "-n 50" or "-n 100", because the *important*
messages happen to be behind the cutoff.

My guess, however, is that Samba fails because you're using "security =
share", which has been removed many years ago
<https://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commit;h=d7bb961859a3501aec4d28842bfffb6190d19a73>.
(It also makes little sense for shares like [homes], too.)
