are you running opensuse 12.1 ?
Until now i only noticed "WARNING: no socket to connect to" on that distro.

It is _not_ samba4 related and results from GNOME-keyring usage.
   /etc/pkcs11/modules/...
   /usr/lib/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so   contains that string
Note that this can also be seen when KDE is the used desktop.

Weeks ago i was hunting this problem on opensuse 12.1 for many days:

Samba4 was started as 
    ./sbin/samba -i -M single -d3

after some initial messages 
    "WARNING: no socket to connect to"
was displayed and shortly later samba was hanging for about 3 to 5 minutes (!) in
    /usr/lib/libgmp.so.10
    ( see http://gmplib.org/ )
possibly computing some infamous large numbers (GnuTLS ) ...

I de-installed all PKCS11 and gnome-keyring related stuff - and then
samba4 was running as expected.
"WARNING: no socket to connect to" was gone - and no hang anymore.

Lateron i re-installed the PKCS11 and gnome-keyring packages again.
Strangely enough all was still working and all my later samba4 builds
(from git) were also working.

So unfortunately i cannot really tell the difference between the initial
pkcs11 and gnome-keyring install and the de-install/re-install case.

Cheers, Günter
