We have a strange problem with a new server we've got running RHEL3 U4
(not-preinstalled). The server is extremely slow to login because of
long pauses between entering the username and the password prompt coming
up. Once logged in many commands run extremely slowly. For example:
db2:/$ time ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
28875 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
29014 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
real 0m10.481s
user 0m0.010s
sys 0m0.010s
db2:/$ time pgrep -u tim
9742
9743
real 0m10.352s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
db2:/$ time id
uid=1053(tim) gid=1053(tim) groups=1053(tim)
real 0m14.297s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.020s
db2:/$ time whoami
tim
real 0m10.620s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.010s
Does anyone know what could be causing such long real times? The server
is using about 256MB out of 3GB of RAM and the swap space is completely
unused. Load Average is 0.00, 0.00, 0.00.
The only thing its running is an unmounted Oracle database that is
recieving archive log updates every 3 minutes from the main database server.
Any ideas?
