OK, I am both panicked and lost now. I stopped Samba, uninstalled,
removed the source directory, removed every Samba directory on the
system (/var/lib/samba, /var/log/samba, /var/cache/samba,
/var/run/samba, /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba), rebooted,
cloned 4-5-stable, configured, built, installed, provisioned a new
domain, and this is what I get. I am following the guide to the letter.

root at dc01:~# smbclient -L localhost -U administrator
Enter administrator's password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_SID

So what in the heck is going on? I have no firewall on this system, so
RPC should not be blocked.
