The configuration of the kpasswd_server is a requirement for joining a 
domain with multiple domain controllers.
If you only have one domain controller, the kpasswd_server can be omitted.

It's really strange.  If you don't configure kpasswd_protocol, 
RPCSEC_GSS will be used.
The Kerberos set/change password protocol (i.e. SET_CHANGE) is what you 
need for changing the machine password stored on Microsoft Active 
Directory.  Are we talking about an AD domain? Is it a single or 
multiple DC environment?

Could you send us the following network traces?
1) with kpasswd_server and kpasswd_protocol set in krb5.conf
First join your system to a workgroup. Then, Join your system to a domain.

2) w/o the above 2 lines in krb5.conf
First join your system to a workgroup. Then, Join your system to a domain.

Thanks,

Natalie
