I've never done that, as far as I remember. NFS (NFSv4, these days)
mounts in my home network use autofs but I haven't done anything there
either specifically for NFS of any verstion. I remember there was some
weirdness at some point with NFSv4 and I didn't bother with it much. I
had maybe two computers back then so not much of network. But over the
years my NFS mounts just became NFSv4.
Access for me is by UID. Service is by the kernel driver or in the case
of zfs, the NFS service it provides. I've thought about setting up
Kerberos but haven't gotten around to it. One thing is, I don't know if
Kerberos would work with the NFS service zfs provides? No big deal
either way though.

It's a wiki by random people. Last updated in 2017, looks like. Did you
think it has particular relevance to Debian or NFS today?
