No, and I plan to make this abort.  If you take an smb.conf from a Samba
3.x installation, you will need to start 'smbd/nmbd/winbindd' as you did
in Samba 3.x.

Neither.  The winbind implementation is internal, and started
automatically.  You should not start any other winbindd, and I plan to
make it abort if you do so. 

I hope this clarifies things.
