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.
