Strange, do you the OS Samba packages installed as well ?

It has been sometime since I tested using MIT as the kdc and you are 
supposed to pass '--with-system-mitkrb5 --with-experimental-mit-ad-dc' 
to configure, otherwise Heimdal is used. You do not seem to have done 
this, but your version of smbd seems to have been built with MIT. How 
did you build Samba ? Was it the standard 'configure' (with options as 
above), 'make' and 'make install', or do you build packages with a 
'spec' file ?

It is possible to build Samba on Centos using Heimdal (there are a 
couple of users that supply rpms or instructions on how to do this, but 
only for Centos 7).
