[Samba] FREEBSD 12 - Samba410 - General question

[Suporte - KONTROL]

Thanks Rowland!

Knowing that, I am changing my startup file to raise Winbind only
(authentication). Awesome!
Much appreciated!!!

Regards
Fabricio.

You shouldn't have any of the Samba binaries running when joining the
domain.

'smbd' == fileserver binary

'nmbd' == network browsing binary

'winbindd' == authentication binary

You really only need 'nmbd' if you need network browsing (implies using
SMBv1)

If you are running Samba as a fileserver, you need 'smbd' & 'winbindd'

If you are just using Samba for authentication, then you only need
'winbindd'
