Description Tom Horsley 2014-01-24 13:34:06 UTC
Description of problem:

I open an xterm and type:

sudo su -l

It sits like a lump for almost 30 seconds. Here's a transcript with time:

zooty> time sudo su -l
Last login: Fri Jan 24 08:21:36 EST 2014 on pts/1
[root@zooty ~]# exit
logout

real    0m27.169s
user    0m0.013s
sys     0m0.004s
zooty> 

I submit this against systemd because it just seems like the sort of thing systemd causes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-208-9.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.sudo su -l
2.wait almost 30 seconds for root prompt
3.

Actual results:
long pause

Expected results:
root session right away

See bug 1057811. I just rebooted my system and the sudo no longer hangs. This probably has something to do with the system getting screwed up by something (probably prelink) in cron.daily.

Comment 2 Tom Horsley 2014-02-08 00:24:10 UTC
I'm almost completely convinced this is from the same fundamental cause as bug 1043212, just a different symptom cropping up.

Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2014-06-20 00:49:53 UTC
OK, closing, since it apparently got fixed, or at least disappeared.
