[Samba] net ads and wbinfo are painfully slow -- but they work

I just created a windows domain. it is essentially empty except for a
couple of users and an group policy related to windows update.  I then
configured samba to connect using ads.

net ads join took > 5 minutes - but worked fine

net ads testjoin takes ~5 minutes - shows a good join

wbinfo -u takes ~5 minutes and shows the users

During the long wbinfo pause, the log show:  "Starting GENSEC sub
mechanism gse-krb5"

I'm using samba 4.2.14 on FreeBSD 10.3.  Configuration files printed
below and came from the samba wiki [1]. The network is not connected
to the internet.

Can you tell me what is wrong?

Thank you,

Chris
