--- Comment #1 from xenia <[email protected]> ---
As far as I can tell, the root cause of this is that sshd sets
PAM_RHOST to "UNKNOWN" (literal string) when the socket is non-TCP/IP,
and then PAM tries to do a DNS lookup for "UNKNOWN" several times. This
seems like a genuine sshd bug to me. It should not be sending an
invalid hostname to pam via PAM_RHOST if it doesn't actually know the
remote hostname. I can try to write up a patch if there's interest.
(Otherwise, I resolved this issue currently with a hack -- if there's
an entry for "UNKNOWN" in /etc/hosts everything is fine and there are
no delays)
