I had some interesting experience during Red Hat summit. The network was significantly overloaded. The VPN was slow and probably bleeding packets on the way like crazy. Any access to internal web page took a while and was happening in multiple steps. When screen was locking it was taking about 30 sec (I have not measured but that was a feeling) to log in. I am not sure we can do much about it but the flaky network is probably going to lead to some timeouts and bad user experience.
I think this may be a recent regression. We are never supposed to wait more than a handful of seconds, but I am noticing that with latest RHEL6 updates my RHEL desktop also sometimes gets stuck a while on authentication (VPN). I have not experienced this in F20 (but my domain controller is local).
Simo.
