Recent versions of the nfs userland (1.2.5 and up, i think) rely on
getting a report from the kernel about what enctypes the kernel supports.

I think that data is usually reported by the kernel in
/proc/fs/nfsd/supported_krb5_enctypes, where the enctypes are identified
by number, like so:

  18,17,16,23,3,1,2

note that there has been some talk about moving the location of that
file, but i'm not sure whether any decision has been made:
