Hi, Our development SULinux boxes are setup through PAM to authenticate first against campus kerberos, then local machine accounts. In the last 2-3 days users have noticed intermittent issues authenticating. This morning I noticed 5-10 second delays after I hit enter on my password before the auth attempt was finished against the kdc's and succeeded against the local account - normally it takes less than a second.
Have there been any issues with the campus kerberos servers ? Short of running a sniffer, how can I get more debug info considering this problem is intermittent? The problem seems to be characterized by more of these messages in the system logs: BEFORE: /var/log/messages.4:Oct 13 09:24:07 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[20599]: session closed for user jaxtell /var/log/messages.4:Oct 13 09:24:07 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs[20610]: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect /var/log/messages.4:Oct 13 09:24:07 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[20609]: session opened for user jaxtell by (uid=0) /var/log/messages.4:Oct 13 09:24:07 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect /var/log/messages.4:Oct 13 09:24:07 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[20609]: session closed for user jaxtell NOW: /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[13677]: session closed for user jaxtell /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs[13688]: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[13687]: session opened for user jaxtell by (uid=0) /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[13687]: session closed for user jaxtell /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs[13697]: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[13696]: session opened for user jaxtell by (uid=0) /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[13696]: session closed for user jaxtell /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs[13707]: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 sshd(pam_unix)[13706]: session opened for user jaxtell by (uid=0) /var/log/messages:Nov 13 16:28:40 irt-dev-cvs1 pam_afs: AFS Authentication failed for user jaxtell. password was incorrect Are the auth servers overloaded at certain times of the day?
