No. If you want to create a share and serve files from it then it's not
a minimum install. You will have to run smbd. In this case, I'd install
from source exactly as you did for the DC. But _do not_ provision it as
a DC. You are also going to need some sort of id mapping so that you
know which users own which files. This may or may not affect the
[global] section of your smb.conf. We now move into an area in which I
am no longer allowed to help:( Otherwise, write you share just as
outlined in the link you quoted
