Re: [CentOS] Login timed out after 60 seconds

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to lengthen that timeout value from 60 to, say, 180. This isn't the first time I've wanted to kill a runaway process and been unable to get a console because of that timeout.

I poked around a bunch but couldn't find a config that can be adjusted.. I do see that the particular message comes from /bin/login

# strings login | grep -i timed Login timed out after %d seconds

which seems to be part of the util-linux package, so perhaps poke around in the source, maybe there is a .h file that you can adjust with a higher value and rebuild it.
