Perhaps this should be a new bug if the version is different After doing the ESM changes (A real ridiculous pain in the *), as mine is Package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.20+esm9
Samba opens but when connect is clicked it just goes away and nothing happens. NOW I have several units I cannot connect or browse

The old bug missed details about the used configuration and the actual crash happening.
Logs, Configs, ... - so it is nearly impossible to decide if it is the same or a different bug.

If you can, please file a new bug using apport [1] right after the issue happened, that should automatically provide most of the logs needed.
