 What would cause this issue to occur, and how can it be corrected?

 Thanks.

Any recent changes to DNS settings on server?

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?

Hello --

That apparently was the problem. 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.

[CentOS] Hanging issue with sudo command

2012-06-18 Thread Kaplan, Andrew H.
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.

 We are running Centos 5.2 64-bit

Update that to current and see if the problem still occurs...

It might well be down to some bug or other over the last 3 to 3 1/2 years...
