I'm running SuSE 9.1 Logging in is very slow. I'm not talking about X loading. Logging in prompts for a password. If I give an incorrect password, it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to tell me that. If I give a correct password, it takes literally 45 seconds to a minute to give me a command prompt. It doesn't matter where or how I'm logging in. Running 'su' from a shell gives the same delay. Running a program such as YaST, which requires the root password, gives the same delay. The delay occurs with either a normal user or root. It occurs with any shell (bash, zsh, csh, etc). I thought perhaps the issue might be with shadow passwords and so disabled them. No change. Any time I have to enter a password, there's a delay of close to a minute.
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
I've had that problem recently due to about 6000 messages sitting in my inbox, though if it's taking forever for a shell to even launch, that isn't likely to be the problem...
--Danny, thinking that's worth looking into, anyway
Thanks for the reply, but it does it for all users, including root or a brand new user just created for test purposes.
