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 Additional info:
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.
I'm almost completely convinced this is from the same fundamental cause as bug 1043212, just a different symptom cropping up.
OK, closing, since it apparently got fixed, or at least disappeared.
