I'm not sure what you mean by socket options.  My smb.conf is shown below. 
I'm not using LDAP or winbind. No domain, just a workgroup.

My smb.conf file is:

[global]
 workgroup = MYWORKGROUP
 netbios name = SERVER1
 wins support = yes
 domain master = yes
 local master = yes
 preferred master = yes
 os level = 65
 map to guest = Bad User

 restrict anonymous = no
 server signing = Auto

[test]
 comment = test
 path = /home/users
 read only = no
 guest ok = yes
