+Subject: Only set PAM_RHOST if the remote host is not "UNKNOWN"
+
+When using sshd's -i option with stdio that is not a AF_INET/AF_INET6
+socket, auth_get_canonical_hostname() returns "UNKNOWN" which is then
+set as the value of PAM_RHOST, causing pam to try to do a reverse DNS
+query of "UNKNOWN", which times out multiple times, causing a
+substantial slowdown when logging in.
+
+To fix this, let's only set PAM_RHOST if the hostname is not "UNKNOWN".
