We have been noticing some problems when we login and try to
su to root. The su command SOMETIMES just hangs, I never get a prompt...
Sometimes if we do something in another window it will finish and
get a root shell.
I have applied the 2 patches to the kernel. I have also noticed
that it seems to hapen a lot when we are running X. I put print statements
in the su command, and it is hanging on doing the openlog(syslog.....)
Does this mean that there is somthing wrong with /dev/console?
Or the xconsole program? or syslog? Anybody have any idea's?
Thanks
