    sudo command taking long time to execute

    folks,

    I'm using fedora 11 and for some reason when I use sudo command (e.g. sudo ls), it takes around 30 seconds or so before it executes it.

    I've added my user to visudo in the manner of :

    user1 ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

    and I don't see that being an issue. Is there something else needs to be done? I can't figure out what's wrong...btw, I'm using GNOME desktop.

    Thanks!

    what command are you running? does it take 30 seconds before it starts executing, or 30 seconds to finish?

    Any command. I found this out while running a python program but even the command sudo ls takes a long time. i.e. when I do "sudo ls" nothing happens for 20-30 seconds and then it prints out the output on the screen.

    if I run the same python program or any other command without sudo it executes right away.

    I seem to remember something about sudo needing
    to check the hostname or something.
