Package: sudo Version: 1.8.9p3-1 Followup-For: Bug #732008 I’ve just noticed the same problem (mostly because, on my four-core workstation at $dayjob, a “sudo xz -9” made IceWM’s CPU monitor go up by half instead of quarter) but cannot say since when it happens.
Both “sudo su -” and “sudo sleep 300” also hog an entire CPU core. I am not, and never will be, running systemd. Running just “su -”, with root password, does not exhibit this problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-11 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-11 ii libselinux1 2.2.2-1 sudo recommends no packages. sudo suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/sudoers [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/sudoers' /etc/sudoers.d/README [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/sudoers.d/README' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
