[sudo-users] SUDO takes a long time to log in

[Carla Cristina Alonzo Duclos]

Hy Aaron,

Thanks for your help. I had though about DNS problem, but I solved the
problem changing the version of SUDO.

Todd sent the tip.

I am sending his email explanning why sudo was slow.

Great.  In case you were wondering the delay was probably caused by sudo
trying to close all possible open file descriptors.  When the resource
limits are set very high this can be slow.  Starting with 1.6.8 sudo uses
the closefrom() function or /proc/$$/fd to only close those that are really
open, which is much faster.

Maybe it cannot lookup the name of the syslog server in DNS?  (Maybe DNS is
slow?) or Maybe syslogd is not running or maybe you are using LDAP and LDAP
is running slow?

As root, try doing 'strace sudo su -' on linux.  Or if you are on Solaris,
try 'truss sudo su -'.  You will then see where sudo is hanging.
