Wrong

On debian there is a script called samba in /etc/init.d , it starts smbd 
& nmbd *or* samba, if it doesn't find 'server role = active
directory
domain controller' in smb.conf , it doesn't try to start the samba
deamon.

Odd that they do that when in the default mode (using systemd).
Apparently makes for more backward compatibility. However, the
systemctl start and stop commands still work for nmbd and smbd (of
course, as running the samba init file calls systemctl).

As I compiled Samba from source it was certainly easier to write the
service files then attempting the complexity of the init files.

I compile Samba myself and I use init files, I would rather have them 
than the bloat systemd comes with. They are not complex if you 
understand bash and are a lot easier to understand than all that systemd 
comes with.

A rabid systemd hater
