it can't find account information. like uid and gid (as the error
says). What's the account part of your pam setup say? Where do you
expect that data to come from?

Are you using /etc/passwd on the server? If so, you'll need the
equivalent on the client. This is one of the things ldap or hesiod is
used for. kerberos only provides authentication.
