I posted that 'configure' fragment to show that the one you used was
probably not enough, I posted a link to where it came from and
suggested that you contact slackware for advice on building Samba for
slackware, you seem to have ignored that advice.

You need 'kinit', so I suggest you re-install it, it doesn't matter if
the client tools are MIT ones, what does matter is what kerberos the
server (DC) is running.

I will repeat this, I suggest you move away from slackware to Debian,
if only to save time, you could have had a known fully working Debian
DC days ago.
