pam_af_tool hangs

[mwisnicki]

I was attempting to periodically unlock old blocks and restore locks on startup using following crontab entries:

*/5    *       *       *       *       root    /usr/local/sbin/pam_af_tool unlock > /dev/null 2>&1
@reboot                                root    /usr/local/sbin/pam_af_tool lock

Unfortunately sometimes it will hang in the resolver and I think block db thus blocking further invocations. For some reason it will also eat 100% of cpu and hang like that forever.

Maybe host stats should include ip address to avoid using resolver for above operations (in addition to fixing whatever causes it to hang) ?
