You *almost* never want to specify default_tkt_enctypes or
default_tgs_enctypes.  Doing so prevents the client from being able to
handle stronger ticket types when the KDC wants to issue them.

If you need to restrict a ticket enctype for a service such as
AFS you do so by limiting the enctypes for which that service
principal has keys in the Kerberos Database.  For AFS, there
should only be single DES keys associated with the service principal
in MIT or Heimdal.  In Active Directory, the "use DES only" flag
should be set.
