Ok. I had updated openafs to version 1.5.74 when I tried without success
to set an openafs server.

We have nixpkgs.config to overrides kerberos.

  nixpkgs.config = {
    packageOverrides = pkgs : rec {
      kerberos = pkgs.krb5;
    };
  };

Are all the nixpkgs depending on kerberos compiling with MIT kerberos?
