RHEL/CentOS/Fedora does not at this time have DC capable samba4 packages.
If you check the samba-dc{,-libs} packages you'll see they just have a
README stating this.
The work is ongoing and in the background I've heard good things on
progress.
If the free sernet packages are too old I suggest using their spec as the
basis for the current samba4 version and building from source with the
current.
Hopefully it won't be much longer till it arrives - keep an eye on Fedora
for indication on when it arrives there... I imagine it'd be the first 7.X
milestone after that as a tech preview, if RH do decide to support it.
