You may also have to enable des keys on the KDC itself, depending on the
IPA version.

You certainly need *exclusively* DES keys for the nfs/fqdn at REALM key
(due to your old client unfortunately). All nfs keys must use only DES
both on the client and unfortunately also on the server.

However *do not* change the host/ key. You do not need DES keys for that
one, and you'd severely degrade your host security by using DES keys in
your host/fqdn principal.

Simo.
