I'm confused.  This is from the wiki.

You must not start the samba service on a domain member. This service is
required only on Active Directory (AD) domain controllers (DC).

then it says:
Samba does not provide System V init scripts, systemd, upstart, or service
files for other init services.

   - If you installed Samba using packages, use the script or service
   configuration file provided by the package to start Samba.
   - If you built Samba, see your distribution's documentation for how to
   create a script or configuration to start services.


Is this referring only to the 'samba' program or does it mean smbd and nmbd
also?
Do I manually start it or not?  Should I use 'systemctl unmask smbd
nmbd;systemctl enable smbd nmbd;systemctl start nmbd smbd?'

Once I start all the services, I'm able to join and run wbinfo --ping-dc
which I wasn't able to do until I started the services.
