Anyone have any ideas on this? As a followup to this, I've noticed that the syslog is around 3-4 minutes behind the events that happen. say I login to an IMAP server, the maillog shows the login at 16:57:48 - if I breat out of that and show the date, the clock will show 3-4 minutes later (ie 17:01) - even though the line has only appeared seconds ago. Even things such as spamassassin is taking 217 seconds to scan a 2Kb email. snmpd results to localhost are timing out - even though the process is listening. It takes 45-50 seconds to log out of a su shell back to the logged in user, the same for becoming root via 'su -'. I have never seen this kind of behaviour on a system before - especially when the CPU is 99% idle. Has anyone come across this type of behaviour before? the system is: model name : AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+ stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 1602.495 It has 1 Gb of RAM, and seemed to work perfectly until last nights updates. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz@xxxxxxxxx Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9017 0597 - 0412 935 897 Sendmail is like emacs: A nice operating system, but missing an editor and a MTA. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
