Hi,

Really weird issue... 

We build a docker container to run some ansible playbooks within it. 
We notice, that IF the container has "ipa-client" package installed, there is a 
HUGE performance degradation to execute the same playbook. 
E.g. 20 seconds without ipa-client vs 2 minutes with ipa-client (6 times 
worse!).

Note that:
- We DO NOT enroll the container. We don't run "ipa-client-install" at any 
point. We just have the "ipa-client" package INSTALLED (like "yum install 
ipa-client")
- The playbooks DO NOT talk to IPA in any way, neither do they run IPA 
commands. They are totally unrelated to ipa-client actually.

The delay seems to be during the connection - i.e. it doesn't matter WHAT 
exactly ansible task does. It gets stuck for all tasks on something like this 
(note timestamp):

<192.168.1.1> EXEC /bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/python 
/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1574346920.3942568-62901531545767/AnsiballZ_stat.py
 && sleep 0'
   852 1574346920.65004: opening command with Popen()
   852 1574346920.65758: done running command with Popen()
   852 1574346920.65791: getting output with communicate()
   852 1574346921.00213: done communicating                           <<<<<< 
note the delay here, this happens for each task
   852 1574346921.00227: done with local.exec_command()

So, JUST HAVING ipa-client installed somehow causes this slowness. 

Any idea what ipa-client package can alter in system behavior, if we don't 
actually enroll in IPA domain?

P.S. You might be wondering WHY we actually have this ipa-client there... well, 
that's the point: it's totally unrelated to this particular thing... it's just 
that some of the playbooks need to use IPA commands, that's why we have 
ipa-client installed. But even NOT the playbook that we are testing above...
