Problem with "su -" and kernels 2.4.3-ac11 and higher

2001-04-22 Thread Manuel McLure
I'm having a problem with "su -" on ac11/ac12. ac5 doesn't show the problem. The problem is easy to reproduce - go to a console, log in as root, do an "su -" (this will succeed) and then another "su -". The second "su -" should hang - ps shows it started bash and that the bash process is sleeping.
