Hi there, I'm posting regarding a strange issue related to su (GNU sh-utils) 2.0.11. When running su and switching to another user (root or any other account), upon logging out, it gives me about a 5 second delay, utilizing 100% kernel time CPU load, before returning to the prior shell. I have attempted to run strace on it and direct the output to a file, but it refuses to accept my password when doing so (likely a security precaution), so I'm unsure what is causing the delay. It also only seems to do this when running under X (Eterm, aterm, and xterm all exhibit the same behaviour), as when I switch to a console or login over the network (or even localhost) this does not occur.
I am running a heavily upgraded RedHat 7.1 machine on a Sony VAIO z505-ls notebook. The only possible related change I have made since this behaviour started appearing was a somewhat major change, upgrading the kernel to 2.4.19-pre3-ac1. Upon restart, this issue began appearing. su is configured to run via PAM, with the contents of /etc/pam.d/su being: ------------------------ #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so # Uncomment the following line to implicitly trust users in the "wheel" group. #auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_wheel.so trust use_uid # Uncomment the following line to require a user to be in the "wheel" group. #auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so use_uid auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_xauth.so Any help would be greatly appreciated. While only a somewhat minor annoyance, I have been unable to come up with a solution, nor has anyone I have consulted about the issue.
