From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314 Description of problem: After running up2date in order to update to the latest kernel ( kernel-2.4.18-27.8.0 ) I cannot su to root anymore because the terminal hangs. This problem happens in several computers we have. It seems to be a problem with the recent patch to the ptrace bug, because if I download the kernel source 2.4.20 and compile it, it works fine, or even if I use the kernel-2.4.18-26.0 it works too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.18-27.8.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.As a regular user, type su 2.It should hang the terminal, the Password prompt is not even visible 3.The only way is to close the terminal window Additional info:
