I think I rebooted the machine last time it happened. ssh to remote machine, then su (to root) produced the following: tigger@edward:~% su Password:load: 1.19 cmd: su 58298 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 1308k load: 1.19 cmd: su 58298 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 1308k load: 1.19 cmd: su 58298 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 1308k (each 'load:...' is a return press) >From another terminal, `kill -9 58298' will kill the su call and display the password on the terminal where su was typed. Interestingly, `su tigger' works fine (at a guess, because no password is entered). su to any other user also produces the issue. The issue appears to have been around for a while: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2004-07/0148.html and this one is similar, but different: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-June/007603.html >How-To-Repeat: Don't know, sorry!! >Fix: No idea. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
