Hello all:

I am having a problem which is causing me some mild concern.  Recently 
some sudo commands are hanging up and not returning back to the CLI prompt.

For example:

[owner@linux ~]$ sudo umount /dev/sdd2

hangs up and does NOT return from this command. I have NOT done anything 
in the sudo'er file with umount.

Next, I tried the sudo crontab command:

[owner@linux ~]$ sudo crontab -l
(some message indicating nothing found)

Then I tried the crontab for the owner name:

[owner@linux ~]$ sudo crontab -u owner -l

and that command too results in a hung state and does NOT return at all

Opening new terminal screens and trying to run "sudo crontab -l" now 
results in a hung CLI with no return back to the prompt.

QUESTIONS:

1. What should I be focusing on?  is something amiss with the sudo'er file?
2. What can stop the command from returning to the prompt.

Right now, my system is acting strangely with the sudo commands, and I 
will reboot the system, to see if this clears the problem.

Randall

p.s. Running openSuse v13.2 or  linux 3.16.7-29-desktop (Gnome desktop)
