Ok, this is a weird one. For me anyway. One of my servers does this weird thing where the first time you try to login to it after a reboot it takes for friggin EVER. You type in a name and password and then it sits there for EVER. This is normally not a huge problem since I use ssh with public keys to login around my own network and THAT is instant. However, if I then try to sudo, it takes FOREVER. Nothing in the logs, nothing on console. It's an Ubuntu server, currently 10.04, but it did this with previous versions too. Several of my other machines are also Ubuntu 10.04 server and they do not have this problem. I've seen these kind of delays to logging in happen when there's slow reverse DNS, but not minutes-long delays. Also there's no reverse DNS delay to any machines from my network. Also that DEFINITELY shouldn't affect logging in on the console. Anyone have any ideas? -Yaron --
