You can very easily upgrade Samba to 4.1.17 by adding backports to your 
/etc/apt/sources.list file

However, if that is your *exact* smb.conf, well, it is the weirdest one 
I have ever seen. If you remove all the defaults, you end up with this:

server string= VIGNESH
Workgroup= WORKGROUP
invalid users= bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail news uucp gopher
map to guest= Bad User
strict allocate= yes
passdb backend= smbpasswd
printcap name= lpstat
max smbd processes= 500
syslog= 0
use sendfile= yes
max log size= 50
unix extensions= no
veto files= /.AppleDouble/.AppleDB/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash 
Folder/Temporary Items/:2eDS_Store/
dos charset= ascii
state directory= /mnt/system/samba/system

There are also these two lines, the left hand side commands do not seem 
to exist.
browse directory= /tmp/samba
winbind sequence directory= /tmp/samba

You don't seem to have '[global]' or any shares, it seems to refer to a 
standalone server. It also doesn't seem to have any of the lines needed 
to connect to an AD DC.

I would suggest you go and have a read here:
