I guess you hit this fix:
http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.0.11.html

CVE-2013-4476:
    In setups which provide ldap(s) and/or https services, the private
    key for SSL/TLS encryption might be world readable. This typically
    happens in active directory domain controller setups.


You would have this in your logs, then:

[2014/01/29 20:19:14.836873,  0, pid=4311] 
../lib/util/util.c:161(file_check_permissions)
   invalid permissions on file '/usr/local/samba/private/tls/key.pem': 
has 0644 should be 0600
[2014/01/29 20:19:14.843206,  0, pid=4311] 
../source4/lib/tls/tls_tstream.c:1125(tstream_tls_params_server)
   Invalid permissions on TLS private key file 
'/usr/local/samba/private/tls/key.pem':
   owner uid 0 should be 0, mode 0644 should be 0600
   This is known as CVE-2013-4476.
   Removing all tls .pem files will cause an auto-regeneration with the 
correct permissions.


This is about the TLS keys for LDAP encryption. Remove the key files and 
restart Samba.


I've added this to the Wiki page, too, as we often had this problem on 
the list in the past:
