I am afraid of asking.
Suppose your /etc/samba/smb.conf includes the following line.
> server role = active directory domain controller
This is what happens.
```
> doas testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
Weak crypto is allowed by GnuTLS (e.g. NTLM as a compatibility fallback)
Server role: ROLE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_DC

[This means that the configuration is sound.]

main: server role = 'active directory domain controller' not compatible with
running smbd standalone.
You should start 'samba' instead, and it will control starting smbd if required
