Package: libpam-krb5
Version: 4.7-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


When connectivity is poor (like WiFi on the edge of range) checking of password
can take VERY long time. It happens no matter if I login through GDM, or if I'm
just unlocking the screen, or even if I'm just executing "sudo" command. This
does NOT happen, when there is no connectivity at all (like an offline
notebook).

To see this happening execute (in two separate windows /sessions):
(session one iptables-session)
# iptables -P INPUT DROP
(in other window/session)
$ sudo su
[jaksdl] password: <give the password here>
...waiting ... wainting .. waiting
(back in the iptable window, execute)
# iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j REJECT
(again in the sudo window)
... tick tick, "sudo" completes almost immediately after iptables-REJECT
command

So, the sudo password checking completed almost immediately after TCP stack
starts returning REJECTs ... instead of accepting traffic for transmission and
in consequence giving an implression that it's worth waiting for an answere.

I'm posting this as libpam-krb5, as I've noticed that DNS queries being
emitting at that time do relate to kerberos realm name defined in my system.
