I am not having su problems, but perhaps our problems are related
somehow, since the "login" process is involved...

I am running Exceed under Win98 to access my FreeBSD with xterm, 
to my now "4.3-RC2" box.
It now hangs waiting to login (using the rlogin method).

From my other FreeBSD machine (4.2-RELEASE),
if I try to rlogin to my 4.3-RC2 box, 
it also hangs for a long time after I enter the password (approx 
2-3 minutes). Then it finally plunks me into the shell as expected.

From an existing session, the ps display shows that the login process
is hung up waiting for something.

Otherwise, its a mystery, and I cvsup-ed again today, hoping the problem
would be fixed, but not so yet... here's hoping for tomorrow..

Warren.
