Kerberized NFS is the default for Debian Edu 11 (bullseye) and has 
already been available as a Debian Edu 10 (buster) feature, see:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/Features#Other_changes_compared_to_the_previous_release

with information how to enable it:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/HowTo/Administration#Kerberized_NFS

Since a long time, the manual contains detailed information about machine
management. For Debian Edu 11 kerberized NFS is also explained, see:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Bullseye/GettingStarted#Machine_Management_with_GOsa.2BALI-

I don't understand why some admins seem to avoid reading the manual.
