I would like to see the lines above that, it is possible that you are
starting the wrong binary.

You still appear to be using init.d scripts and the 'samba' init.d
script used to start the smbd & nmbd binaries, on a DC you should start
the 'samba' binary (not to be confused with the 'samba' init.d script)
and this starts smbd and winbindd.
