Hmmm. Did you by any chance install a kerberized version of su? I've had
this problem with su trying unsuccessfully to communicate with a
KerberosIV server. Eventually, su times out.

If you can confirm that su does time out with Kerberos-related
messages in /var/log/messages, the solution is to ``make world'' with
MAKE_KERBEROS4 undefined. This means commenting it out of /etc/make.conf
.

If not, I'm wasting your time and you should wait for someone else to
make suggestions. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
