Samba does not supply systemd service files, this is left to package 
maintainers. The easiest way would be to use your distro's files, 
possibly modified for your PREFIX.

Figured that might be the case, I copied the Debian 10 unit files for 
smbd and nmbd, make the applicable changes, then discovered that smbd is 
is failing after compile, make, make test, make install all successful 
(on Pi 4 native, not a cross compile).? So am a bit surprised.? 
Environment is Raspberry Pi OS 32bit for ARMv7 HF.? Is there any thing 
special that needs to be done for Pi devices when compiling from 
source?? Beyond the obvious required packages before compile?? Would 
have expected ./configure to throw a fit if there was something special 
needed specific for Pi? Unfortunately, the Debian 10 buster variant of 
Raspberry Pi OS only has a Samba 4.9 version level and even the yet to 
be released (as stable) Raspberry Pi OS based on Bullseye only has 4.12 
included.? So I guess the package maintainers are a bit behind the curve 
given 4.14 is available as stable.? What started be down this path was 
the need for profiling support, which is not included by default in the 
Debian 10 packages.

The samba source tree holds templates for systemd files in directory
packaging/systemd :

"s/pi?? /group/"

They are not ready to use but might serve as a starting point.
