In a few cases recently (again yesterday), we noticed RHEL7.3's "realm join" 
taking more than 5
minutes (which timed out in our cli, and running realm directly worked but took 
~6 minutes when
normally would take a few seconds). As you can see from the verbose output 
below the
two longest stretches (greater than 2 minutes! each) were waiting between 
launching
"net ads join" and piping the password in (and similarly "net ads keytab
create" had a long delay between starting the command and giving it the 
password). 
Looking at realmd service/realm-samba-enroll.c e.g. begin_net_process() calling 
out to
realm_command_runv_async it was not obvious why there should be any delay 
between the
launch of the net command the passing of the password (I did see one report of 
"net
ads keytab create" hanging if the keytab already existed but that is not the 
same
problem as this). Any idea how/why such long delays between launching net and 
inputting
the password in realmd async code? > 5 minutes is a long time to do something 
that
usually completes in 10 seconds

Any ideas why realmd's async processing (basically passing the password to
the underlying "net ads join" etc.) is doing this?
