[Samba] Domain Member as File Server

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).
