Failed primary KDC - Can't login

I've set up two KDC's (kerberos1/rmgztk and kerberos2/morwen) and a client (tuzjfi).

All of them are SPARC SS4's (if that matters :). Now kerberos1 have failed
(problem with the memory some how). I'm using 'pam_ldap', 'pam_krb5' and
'nss_ldap' for authentication/authorization...

I can get a ticket, I can finger myself etc but when trying to login it fails
(login times out after 60 seconds)...

Logs when trying to login:

The second line comes just before I get 'login timed out ...', but it
seems like it's succeeding!

One thing that I thought of was that there's no KAdmin (krb524d) running
on kerberos2. Do I really _HAVE_ to run one? Kerberos2 is 'never' going
to be the master, it's just to authenticate users/services while kerberos1
is down (hopfully a very short time :)...

But I think the real problem is the timeout. Since I'm using LDAP (PAM/NSS),
and it takes a while before the LDAP libs try the second LDAP server (which 
is kerberos2), login times out.

If indeed this is the problem, this is more of a OpenLDAP issue (hence the
Cc)...
