Client RPC timeout too short

For years, I've been carrying around a mod to K5 that increases the value 
of the RPC timeout from 25 to 180 seconds, to allow me to do a kadmin 
'listprincs' without timing out.

I wonder if MIT has any plans to incorporate the ability to control this 
value (as a config option?) into the regular distribution.

My mod changes the value of TIMEOUT in lib/kadm5/clnt/client_rpc.c, as 
well as that of tv.tv_sec in lib/rpc/clnt_generic.c (though I don't know 
if the change is really needed in both places).

As I'm moving to an environment in which I don't expect to have any other 
mods to K5, it would be nice if I didn't have to carry this one around.

Thanks.

Mike
