I want to amplify Sam's comment here: if you have some clients that can 
do 3DES for RPCSEC_GSS you want to allow your nfs/* service principals 
to have 3DES keys.  If you can't limit it on the client side as Kevin 
proposed, then other clients whose user-mode libraries have 3DES 
support but whose kernel NFS client code doesn't support it, you're in 
a spot of difficulty.
