Why do you wish to change things, if you have a working setup?
Just run samba 4.1.x in classic mode, aka samba 3, aka NT-style
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Documentation
do not have much information about classic mode. Read the man pages
and/or the "Official Samba 3 HOWTO.
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/index.html
You may use samba 4.1.x in the same way as samba 3.6.x
Surely, their are some things to watch. The most important one is
different defaults for a lot of smb.conf parameters and some new ones.
testparm -s -v /dev/null > samba-<version>.default.conf
shows you all default settings. Do it on your 3.6 server and on your new
server. So you know old and new defaults.
testparm -s > samba-<version>.running.conf
again, do it on both servers
If I need to migrate a 3.x Server to 4.x first thing I will do is to
change new default settings to old ones.
For share setups, the new default is read only, so you may add
read only = No
for each share definition.
nss and pam configs should be the same.
