Are you using the 'su' command in your script?
This happenned to me when I moved to RHEL4/Centos 4. My problem was due to
SELinux. I was using the 'su' command. When I changed it to use the
'runuser' command instead, it worked fine. The reason it was hanging for me
is that using the su command produces a context question on the console
(during password checking) for which I had to press enter. With 'runuser',
you don't get the SELinux context question.
