Incorrect for the situation where you only wish to access shares that
are served by another system.

The link you point to references the smbclient and smbmount utilities. 
These are "client side" utilities and thus the smbd and nmbd services
need not be running.  Those are server side daemons that only need be
started if you wish to share directories on you system to other systems.

FYI....
