@Ji Fu That's a childish short-ranged view on the actual problem in Ukraine. There is a law against "foreign" languages in place which only allows Ukrainian as a spoken and written language. Just image this reflected back at, let's say Germany where Turkish people suddenly start demanding that Turkish is the only language allowed to be used in Germany and if you speak e.g. German you are being fined with 200-300 EUR each attempt. Sure you you divide a country with this attempt.

Slow system/su command on Devuan fixed!


For the hurried-up people:

I found the reason why my #Devuan server was slow in almost all regards. You may have to run $ sudo pam-auth-update and then unselect the elogind Session Management option.

Very simple fix. Now just restart your daemons or your server to have this change fully affecting your instance or whatever you run on it.

Longer log on how I slowly came to this point:

I found this out through executing $ sudo strace su - vuXXX and then it was slow at a ppoll() syscall which has a connect() syscall before to the dbus daemon. So I stopped it and it was fast. Sure this isn't the fix so I was eager to look further. I then checked again the strace output and found some sendmsg() invocation for authentication data which brought me closer to above fix. I then saw the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file and checked it. I only found some usual and an optional line for pam_shield.so. But that wasn't the culprit here. Then I also found elogind-user and that was the right one. So I tried to find the command to deactivate the responsible PAM module and saw in the documentation to use pam-auth-update.

And then I found the culprit elogind Session Management and deactivated it. I hope this saves some time for you.
