I am having strange problems with su on a pc running FreeBSD 3.4. The =
symptoms are very odd: If I have recently rebooted the machine, I have =
no problems using su to become root. However, after an hour or so, I can =
no longer su. It will prompt me for the password, as normal - however, =
after entering the correct password, su hangs. There are no errors in =
the logs. If I enter an incorrect password, I get the normal message of =
"sorry". Only a reboot will allow me to su again. This happens with both =
telnet and ssh. It is especially strange since the machine (P3 700 with =
256MB) has practically no load.
Has anyone seen this happen before?
Thanks,
Nicholas
