Mine is just as in the wiki and it works as expected If you share your
krb5.conf maybe someone can tell what is going wrong. If kinit cannot find
the kdc maybe something is wrong with DNS.

Do you have other services running on your server that depend on kerberos?

See the wiki *https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_Samba_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller#Testing_Kerberos

My first Samba AD DC was a VirtualBox running Ubuntu with Samba self
complied and setup according to the wiki. Maybe that is the best way to get
to know Samba.
