The building of 'ntvfs' by default was stopped when 4.4.0 came out.
As far as I can see, all howtos for a DC on Freebsd used 'ntvfs'.

You could still use the deprecated 'ntvfs' by building Samba yourself
and configuring with '--enable-selftest', but this is not supported by
Samba, you would be using code that hasn't been maintained and could be
removed without any real notice.
