samba - Feb 2014 - Samba4 acting as standalone server, smb.conf parameters and run daemons !

I have built Samba4 4.1.5 from sources and provisioned as standalone
server. I don' t need to act Samba4 as DC.
I need fully working server, including shares access, network neighborhood
browsing, LDAP (I suupose it should be anyway by default) .
What values should be added to smb.conf, in particular to server services ?
Is dcerpc endpoint servers parameter necassary ?
What daemons should be started,smbd, nmbd, winbindd, samba ?
Where is able to read for it.
Because of there is info for Samba4 DC in the most internet resources.

LDAP is used in DC environment to store user, group, machine accounts 
and many other things. If you are planning to have a simple workgroup 
server, I think your users should be stored in standard SAM like tdb 
files, like in the 3.x serie.

"samba" process is for DC role, so you shouldn't need it. I have
no
experience of running nmbd independantly of "samba" process, in a DC 
environmenent smbd et nmbd are started automatically by "samba"
process.
And there is some caveat with the samba4 version of winbind.

samba4 developpement is focused on DC support, so that is expected.

Hope this helps,
