My only Windows computer gets fired up less than two hours per month,
so I have no need for Samba. I've long ago forgotten most of the
Samba I knew, but at the turn of the century I knew a fair amount about
it:

Back in those days, the only Samba code I saw that could have related
to the init was the init scripts, and those weren't compiled in. Today
I'd imagine there's an option for smbd and nmbd and any other Samba
background processes to issue one of those systemd calls saying "I'm
ready", and if so, you'd need a tiny shim to make Samba think you're
giving it that functionality.

Of course, I haven't used Samba in 15 years, and everything changes.
