Oh. I am a pretty newbie on this field. Maybe that helped...

First I install the basic system including LXDE. On the problem loaden 
notebook I messed this up by an unsuccessful attempt to install the 
non-free Nvidia drivers - no way to get the history of this clear. 
Anyway, next I install ntp, xfs utilities. Next bind9 as slave DNS 
pointing to my AD DCs. On the notebook I used the Debian repository, 
on the servers I build from the sources as bind 9.9 hadn't been 
available during my first installations. 


apt-get --purge remove avahi-daemon

apt-get install build-essential libacl1-dev libattr1-dev \
   libblkid-dev libgnutls-dev libreadline-dev python-dev libpam0g-dev \
   python-dnspython gdb pkg-config libpopt-dev libldap2-dev \
   dnsutils libbsd-dev attr krb5-user docbook-xsl libcups2-dev acl \
   libncurses5-dev libssd-dev libkrb5-dev libpam-krb5



cd /to/bind/sources
./configure --prefix=/usr/            \
            --sysconfdir=/etc/bind    \
            --localstatedir=/var      \
            --with-libtool            \
            --with-openssl=/usr       \
            --with-dlopen=yes         \
            --enable-threads          \
            --with-gssapi=/usr/include/gssapi && \
make && \
make install


By then I install a dummy Bind9.9, i.e. without the AD related zones.
Next I install sssd and configure PAM. 


apt-get install sssd sssd-tools libnss-sss libpam-sss libsss-sudo \
      libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit ldap-utils python-sss libsasl2-modules-ldap \
      cracklib-runtime libsss-nss-idmap0

I do fix the sssd and krb5.conf files here, even though it won't work 
until samba is compiled and running. 

apt-get install sssd sssd-tools libnss-sss libpam-sss libsss-sudo \
      libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit ldap-utils python-sss libsasl2-modules-ldap \
      cracklib-runtime libsss-nss-idmap0

Then I start compiling samba.

apt-get install build-essential libacl1-dev libattr1-dev \
   libblkid-dev libreadline-dev python-dev libpam0g-dev \
   python-dnspython gdb pkg-config libpopt-dev libldap2-dev \
   dnsutils libbsd-dev attr krb5-user docbook-xsl libcups2-dev acl \
   libncurses5-dev libgnutls28-dev 

*) OK, in the meantime would replace libgnutls-dev by libgnutls28-dev,


apt-get remove xsltproc -> sonst "bus error"

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba \
            --with-piddir=/usr/local/samba/var/run \
            --with-syslog \
            --with-quotas \
            --with-acl-support \
            --enable-cups \
            --with-ads \
            --with-shared-modules=idmap_ad \
&& make 2>&1 | tee -i make.log \
&& make install 2>&1 | tee -i make-install.log


Next fix DNS, try Kerberos. Then join the machine, prepare the 
keytab on the DC, copy to the client and check SSSD. 
Typically then I'm done... Well, there is quite a bit of housekeeping... 
adjusting permissions, doing all the tests, doing a reboot etc.


On the problematic laptop I did some tests in the meantime: I installed 
the Debian package - problem still exists, and booted to the standard 
Debian kernel (otherwise I use 3.19.2) - also no progress. It really looks 
like some missing module. It seems to be related to authentication. 
But that is not exactly a clue... :-(

Best regards
Peter


PS: If I find some time, I will also set up a VM and try to install 
with libgnutls28-dev without libgnutls-dev being there in advance. 
But I can't promise. I have not much time over the weekend and in 
the course of the next week. :-(
