For a production server, you only need './configure', the rest

Yes, you will be using Heimdal, I only asked because using MIT is

This is strange, if Samba starts by 'samba -D' and runs correctly, then
systemd should be able to start & stop Samba.

Can you post the contents of /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf
Do you have a /usr/sbin/samba file ?
What is your PATH ?
