As I said previously, I followed the directions for doing an in-situ upgrade from Stretch to Buster exactly as specified on the raspbian.org website and, as I also said, this pulled in ntpd without asking me if I wanted it.
So, obviously something is screwed up on the Raspbian website and/or repositories if an in-situ upgrade gives a different result to a from- scratch install of Buster. There are clues that something is wrong since, although it included ntpd in the in-situ upgrade, it did not provide an ntpd.service definition so, although ntpd gets started at boot time, there's no obvious way to start,stop or interrogate its status.

If smbd is running and no error with "testparm" (it tests the smb.conf file) then your shares should be visible.
your windows box is in the ip range of 192.168.1.x ??? look with ipconfig: ipconfig

I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64.
Funny enough, when I run Windows 7 in a virtual machine, it sees the pi share and can connect to it straight away. It must be something between Windows 10 and Linux.

{caveat: that seems to be based upon SysV Init, and R-Pi/Debian has been converting to a different startup procedure -- so the /etc/init.d stuff may not be up-to-date; also, all the crud about the WINS MMC feature requires installing lots of Windows Server stuff:

"pi-star-3b" is an R-Pi 3B running the Pi-Star (amateur radio hotspot) based upon Jessie. "microdiversity" is an R-Pi 3B web-server running on Stretch. It is firewalled to only allow local SSH and HTTP.
It appears the Pi-Star system registers or otherwise has Samba enabled (but has no shares defined?). Microdiversity, OTOH, does not register itself.
I have scanned the LAN with a MAC scanner, and with the other pc's I see "WORKGROUP" as the workgroup name. With the pi I see "RASPBERRYPI d" as the workgroup name. That's not correct and could be the problem. But how can I change that to "WORKGROUP"?
In /etc/samba/smb.conf there is an item [global]. Under [global] there is a line: workgroup = WORKGROUP and netbios name = RASPBERRYPI
Inspite of this the workgroup name of the pi is different.
It seems to me that your old installation (Stretch?) had a configured ntpd running. The in-situ upgrade attempts to do its best to preserve the functionality of the installation.
Have you condsidered using ntpq?
For start / stop / disable, have a look at /etc/init.d.
I'm happy with the upgrade of my two Stretch installations to Buster, with the exception of the time taken (3 hours / update).
which got created to add a few packages to my original wheezy install and then added to later. Its under CVS (external repo on a different box and the only changes I made to it were to replace the originally used 'at' and 'atd' packages with the 'anacron' package. That was the most recent change and happened on 22Nov17
No - I'm happy with ntpd - been using it for years onother Linux boxes.
There's an 'ntp' sysvinit script there and a ntp.service file exists, which I didn't notice earlier, probably because I was looking for ntpd.service.
Anyway, mystery solved - thanks for making me look a little deeper.
