Recently, I noticed that when using tty to login to my computer, there was a delay (around 20 seconds) between the time I enter my username and the time I'm getting asked for my password. Where can it come from ?

I don't have such delay when using su username or ssh username@localhost and my password is asked right away.

I'm using Arch Linux with kernel 5.14.16.

EDIT

Finally found the problem. There was a broken module in PAM (fingerprint auth) which needed to timeout before asking a password. Just disabled the module.

Where's authentication coming from? Are you standalone or is there a remote server - RADIUS or Samba, for instance - that's authenticating your ID? – tsc_chazz Nov 12 '21 at 18:09
It's standalone authentication, there are no remote servers. – æyno Nov 12 '21 at 19:35
THANKS! This was a bug I couldn't fix for ages. – zs11 Jun 11 '22 at 23:13
