Re: [CentOS] Hanging issue with sudo command
Hello -- Apparently the problem had to with the absence of the domain controller. The domain controller used by the system was offline for several hours. Once it came back on-line, the lag that I described in my posting was no longer present. -Original Message- From: centos-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of Anthony Kamau Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 5:11 AM To: centos@centos.org Subject: Re: [CentOS] Hanging issue with sudo command On 19/06/12 00:29, Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote: > Recently it was observed the user account took longer to complete its login > from a terminal window and console.

I've run into similar, though not identical, issues when a machine is part of an active directory domain. Apparently, authenticating off the domain controller. Has there been any change in authentication methods, or joining a Windows domain, or anything similar? -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Well, I guess that makes it official.

[CentOS] Hanging issue with sudo command
Hello -- We are running Centos 5.2 64-bit on a system that functions as a mail server, and also runs a virtual server via the Virtualbox application. A user account was given sudo access via the sudoers file several years ago, and that account has worked well with various administrative jobs on the server. Recently it was observed the user account took longer to complete its login from a terminal window and console. It is also now having problems when running the sudo command. Essentially when the user runs the command, the latter hangs, and the administrator is forced to log in as root, and kill the hung progress. What would cause this issue to occur, and how can it be corrected? Thanks. The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
