Question about su and network

Hello,

When my ISDN line was down yesterday, I noticed that su from an xterm
would hang on my FreeBSD box.  Logging in as root from a virtual console
would work OK.  After the network came back everything went back to
normal.

Is there a way I can avoid this behavior?  I mean the hanging, not the
return to normal operation. :-)

I can see you're going to do just *fine* here in comp.lang.lisp.  I'm
rather looking  forward to the ritual disembowelling,  in particular,
although the bit were we chop your arms and legs off and feed them to
crocodiles is also good.                             --- Tim Bradshaw
