I think I understand this a bit better now, the kinit didn't work until 
you added a line to krb5.conf that told kerberos where the DC was, this 
sounds very like a dns problem. Did you alter your /etc/resolv.conf 
after the provision, so it pointed the nameserver to itself and seeing 
as you are using Ubuntu, did you remove 127.0.1.1 from /etc/hosts and 
stop Network Manager from using dnsmasq.
