I was being generic, 'Samba' as in the program and yes, you are correct,
you only start the 'samba' binary on a DC, that would then start the
'smbd' & 'winbind' binaries.
What I was alluding to was the fact that no Samba binaries were running,
neither 'samba', 'smbd', 'nmbd' or 'winbind' were running.
