Dear Andrew,

I built Samba 4.8.3 from scratch on a fresh Fedora 28 VM, without MIT kerberos but keeping all other dependencies at the same version as with the packaged version, and I can confirm the Mac joins to a newly provisioned AD on it with no issues. Would you like me to provide logs for future reference?

Regards,
Phil Potter
