If you have to add that line to krb5.conf on a DC, then I think you are 
doing something wrong, because, to be honest, it only really needs to be:

[libdefaults]
     default_realm = SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM

The other two lines are defaults.

What OS did you try it on ?

It doesn't have to be on the troubleshooting page, because it is on the 
DC howto page, did you somehow miss this ?

I am sure that if you follow the Samba wiki page you will end up with a 
basic DC, but if it doesn't work for you, just what do you feel is 
missing ? as I said, if we don't know what is wrong, how can we fix it ?

I also don't understand what you mean by 'Compare the monstrously sized 
Samba 3.5 with Samba 4', just what are you trying to compare ?
