NFS4 + Kerberos with AD

The server itself runs in the kernel.  I'm not sure exactly what the
ubuntu script starts.  I'm assuming it starts rpc.svcgssd, rpc.idmapd,
and maybe other things.  As long as you built and installed the
nfs-utils pieces in the normal ubuntu location (/usr/sbin/rpc.* by
default), that script should still be usable (AFAIK).
