samba - Mar 2016 - 'Smb' server service is reason of panic of Samba 436 smbd daemon.

I saw at the link, I tried simple conf posted at link, but didn' t get
working result.
By the way, I use passdb backend = samba_dsdb

Which backend should I use withion standalone server ?

After deleting all content of private folder (after provision as standalone
server) I got 'smbd' error: "pdb_samba_dsdb_init_secrets
failed!"

I would suggest you stop trying to use the 'samba_dsdb' backend, as far 
as I am aware, this is only used on an AD DC.

tdbsam or ldapsam, I would just use the Samba standalone server wiki 
page as a start, if I were you, this (though it doesn't show it) uses 
the tdbsam backend.

Well, yes you would, I will say it again, *You can only provision Samba4 
as a DC, nothing else will work!*

If you want a standalone server, see here: 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Standalone_server

If you want a domain member, see here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_Samba_as_an_AD_Domain_Member

If you want a DC, see here:

Everyone is in his (her) shoes, as following each has his (her) own 
conditions (meaning  environment) as tasks.
And sometimes what one offers is not applicable for other one. :)

Can you tell me briefly, what are diffiriencies between tdbsam and 
ldapsam within standalone server ?

[Samba] 'Smb' server service is reason of panic of Samba 436 smbd 
daemon. /Rowland/, /Miguel/,// thank that told that Samba4 standalone 
server mode doesn' t require provisioning.
As I said I got working such mode with provisioning tough with 434 
version at x32 Ubuntu.
I simply deleted of private folder content and recreated users and all 
worked.

And quite funny quiestion. I think.
I have some Samba4 shares named by only one letter, for examle "D" .
All are specified in uppercase.

But while accessing Samba4 server all are listed in lowercase.
And such situation seems for shares named with up to 3 letters.
If share is called "FdWw" , it is displayed exactly as specified.

How is to get shares from 1 to 3 letters name with uppercase letters ?
