The builtin 'winbind' is very limited and was changed to use the 
separate 'winbindd' to allow (along with other benefits) better trusts 
with other domains.
If you start the 'samba' deamon it will start any other required 
separate deamons, before samba version 4.2.0 it would start the 'smbd' 
deamon, from 4.2.0 it now also starts the 'winbindd' daemon, unless you 
explicitly tell it not to.
