In this case, it's login.  The actual situation is where krb5.conf is
linked to an AFS area (/etc/krb5.conf -> /afs/.../krb5.conf), and the
network is down, so AFS is unreachable.  If the network is down, the
intent is to fall back to local authentication.  Maybe the code returned
by the AFS client when it attempts to open the link is confusing it? (I
think it returns -ETIMEDOUT, or maybe -ENODEV.)
