You need a kernel compiled with the NFSSERVER option. You are in
luck, though, as GENERIC kernels nowadays have that option set.

With the 6/1 snapshot, I think you just edit rc.conf and say YES to the
NFS Server option line (I've forgotten its exact wording).

Get the secr package. It includes kerberosIV. I use it with the servers
here at Stanford routinely.

As you're at CMU, will you be needing the andrew_string2key routine?
At the moment, choosing it requires recompiling kinit (actually
just re-linking it to include libafs before libdes; -DAFS during
the make will do this).

Take care,
