From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2 Description of problem: I'm having some problems with the su command. I recently installed fedora and updated it and I am getting delay problems with the su commend. I'm using gnome console. When i type su and then enter the password it works fine. If i then switch back to a user and then try su again it takes ages to switch to the root but if i open a new console window and type su it's instant. I've also tried this with xterm and i get the same result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gnome-console 2. type su 3. type password 4. type su user 5. type su Actual Results: On the second and consecutive su (to the root) command it hangs. It does eventually switch to the root Expected Results: It should be an instant switch to the root Additional info:
