Long wait times logging in as other user using sudo

  • 772

Any clues to why it takes 20-30 seconds for me to log in using sudo+su?

$ time sudo su ida -l
exit
ida@timbuktu:~$ exit
logout

real    0m18.076s

$ time sudo su ida
exit
ida@timbuktu:/home/carl-erik$ exit
exit

real    0m25.082s

This is quite frustrating when changing users frequently to do work. I might add that this might not be strictly restrictred to sudo, as logging in using ssh also takes approx 25 seconds.
