Bug ID: 18557
Summary: ruserok has bad scalability with large ~/.rhosts file.
Product: glibc
Version: 2.21
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: network
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
With a very large ~/.rhosts file the number of DNS queries per entry causes
scalability issues. It can take minutes to login if you have a very very large
~/.rhosts file.
As an optimization the ruserok and related API functions could short-circuit
check if the user matched and move on to the next line if possible. This goes a
long way to helping certain use cases.
