Yes, login.krb tries to obtain kerberos tickets, even for _root_, causing
unnetworked root logins to take several minutes. Most annoying. I think this
(trying to get tickets for root) is a bug.

I have had the same problem. I read through the login manpage, and found it
wholly useless. My solution (read that "workaround") was to continue using
login.krb, and simply to wait several minutes for a login.
Joanne: I made the default init level of my computer 2 or 3, and then
removed the S75athena (and S80sendmail) links from /etc/rc.d/rc2.d and
rc3.d ... then, when I do have network connectivity, I run "init 5" and my
athena init programs fire up.
