It was a bit confusing, I have updated the wikipage and hopefully it is
now clearer.
Originally, when you ran 'samba-tool domain join', the code created
'something', not sure what the 'something' was, but it wasn't a Unix
domain member. The code was rewritten and now it creates a proper Unix
domain member, provide you use Samba >= 4.15.0
