Windows 7 responds "Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords are not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced" and a Debian Stretch client responds "You are not allowed to logon from this workstation". The Samba DC will provide a non-forwardable TGT, if you ask for it with kinit -F command from the Linux client. Issuing the command kinit -f will again fail with "krb5_get_init_creds: Ticket may not be forwardable".

This behavior is correct according to CVE-2016-2125 (https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2016-2125.html) which states:

I have filled Bug 13205 with a proposed patch. It also affects Samba 
versions 4.7.4 and 4.8.0rc2.
