I think this may be a recent regression. We are never supposed to wait
more than a handful of seconds, but I am noticing that with latest RHEL6
updates my RHEL desktop also sometimes gets stuck a while on
authentication (VPN).
I have not experienced this in F20 (but my domain controller is local).
Simo, if you can reproduce the error locally, would you mind enabling
debug logs or trying out the 6.6 preview packages?
I only have headless VMs with RHEL6 and I'm not sure I could reproduce
the bug there. But it sounds like something we should fix, so any debug
information would be welcome, at least to know where to start with local
debugging.
btw when I tried to reproduce the bug Thomas was seeing, I saw some
blocking DNS calls in openldap's initialization path, but that was on
F-20.
