 The rpcsec_gss protocol gives a means of using the gss-api generic security
 api to provide security for protocols using rpc (in particular, nfs).  Before

+to limit session keys to Single DES even if the kernel supports stronger
+encryption types. Service ticket encryption is still governed by what
+the KDC believes the target server supports. This way the client can
+access a server that has strong keys in its keytab for ticket decryption
+but whose kernel only supports Single DES.

+The alternative is to put only Single DES keys in the server's keytab
+and limit encryption types for its principal to Single DES on the KDC
+which will cause service tickets for this server to be encrypted using
+only Single DES and (as a side-effect) contain only Single DES session
+keys.

+This legacy behaviour is only required for older servers
+(pre nfs-utils-1.2.4). If the server has a recent kernel, Kerberos
