Systemd cannot assume it can kill all processes, unless the service declares that. Currently winbind does not have a native systemd service, but an init script. Thus, the init script should ensure winbind is really exited before returning. This is a bug in the winbind init script. Thus reassigning to winbind. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
