Yes, you read it wrong ;-)
Samba is composed of 4 binaries (or services), samba, nmbd, smbd and
winbindd
You only start the samba binary on an AD DC and this will then start the
other required binaries.
For a standalone server, you only start the smbd binary (with optionally
nmbd for SMBv1 and browsing).
For an AD Unix domain member, you need to start smbd and winbindd (again
optionally nmbd for SMBv1 and browsing).
