[Freeipa-users] KPasswd TCP issues

I used IPA from the CentOS 6 repositories and I am having an issue I
can't seem to solve.  I installed a server and a client with no
issues, but upon Nessus scans of the server, port 464 kpasswd UDP was
flagged for a ping-pong DoS attack.  With this information I noticed
kpasswd also listens on TCP 464 which I understand was used for over-sized
requests and other errors.  I attempted to IPTABLES block UDP for
kerberos which resulted in kpasswd no longer functioning from the client.
 Kerberos authentication defaults to TCP without issue, but no matter
what i cannot get the client to use TCP for kpasswd.  Is there a way
to force kpasswd on the client to use TCP (i was under the understanding
that if UDP failed TCP would be attempted).  I am running the latest
from the CentOS 6 repo's on both server and client.  Thank you!
