That is what I have:  (snippet of krb5.conf follows)

[domain_ream]
 .engr.uconn.edu = ENGR.UCONN.EDU
 engr.uconn.edu = ENGR.UCONN.EDU
# ad.engr.uconn.edu = ENGR.UCONN.EDU
# .ad.engr.uconn.edu = ENGR.UCONN.EDU
 .ad.engr.uconn.edu = AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU
 ad.engr.uconn.edu = AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU

Also I have set the default_realm in [libdefaults] to AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU
to force users to authenticate off the Active Directory. 

This error persists:
May 12 10:49:46 user rpc.gssd[3534]: Key table entry not found while 
getting keytab entry for 'host/user.engr.uconn.edu at AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU'
In wireshark I see quite a few error messages from the MIT KDC to the 
NFS client with the type
(KRB5KRB_ERR_GENERIC).  The message looks like this:
    MSG Type: KRB-ERROR (30)
    error_code: KRB5KRB_ERR_GENERIC (60)
    Client Name (Principal): nfs/user.engr.uconn.edu
    Realm: ENGR.UCONN.EDU
    Server Name (Unknown): krbtgt/AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU
    e-text: NO PREAUTH

Do you the  version of nfs-utils that ships with Gutsy 
(1.1.1~git-20070709-3ubuntu1) could be
the problem? 

Thanks,

Rohit
