Are both smb.conf's on the same machine ?

In answer to your question, Samba 4 can only use one backend, it can be 
a domain controller (this will use the samba daemon, which will start 
the smbd daemon. It can also be used in the same way as Samba 3.x (this 
will use the smbd & nmbd daemons and optionally the winbind deamon), but 
you cannot use them both at the same time.
