"Permission denied" while things are running as root suggests it could be a
problem with SELINUX.  You could try turning it off globally to see if that
fixes the problem.

You're right, that looks successful. Are you saying that kadmind behaves
differently if you run it under strace? Or do you still get the permission
denied error logged, possibly this one:

> sendto(4, "<30>Mar 13 09:22:15 kadmind[5813"..., 43, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL,
> 0) = 43

(try adding -s 128 to the strace command line to see more of this message)
