Facing same problem. It seems direct command "/usr/sbin/kadmind -P /var/run/kadmind.pid" runs well

Did you give it the exact filename and put it here the principals of the keytab?

ktadd -k /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab kadmin/admin kadmin/changepw

Type kinit and then type the password for the current user to initiate the authentication.

Check /etc/krb5.conf. Leave only default_realm in libdefaults and try again:

[libdefaults]
default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM
