FWIW that 4 second pause on bash startup I was seeing with or without thinkfinger? It was bash parsing my ~/.bash_history (> 100000 lines).
The other pauses are thinkfinger's fault, see http://bugs.debian.org /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519631 which also links to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12301 and mentions there's a patch. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #519631 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519631 ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #12301 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12301 -- [jaunty] long pause before and after PAM prompt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
