If you get a chance, I'd appreciate hearing the results.

We have a problem where pam_krb5 tries to do a 5-to-4 conversion, even
though we set krb4_convert to false. (We don't want that module to try to do
anything with AFS; the vast majority of our AFS users just need read access
to public areas, and those that need more can klog.) The net result is a
50-second delay, and then you finally get in.

On the off chance that this is what you're seeing too, here's my workaround:
