- 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
