This value is set to 30 by default, however the code which uses it
(sendto_kdc.c) does an exponential backoff:
for (timeout = krb5_skdc_timeout_1; timeout < krb5_max_skdc_timeout;
timeout <<= krb5_skdc_timeout_shift) {
The actual max value used is 16s. Setting it to 30 is misleading.
I'd say change this to 16, but an alternative is 32.
thx
