I'm not used to administering windows, but I routinely do that: I
disable the "Sharing drives and printers to other computers" option,
which is the same as not running smbd on a unix client.

Where does the documentation say so? What I found, by reading the man
pages, is the reverse: smbd needs winbindd, winbindd doesn't need smbd.
