    Was this issue resolved? If so, what was the problem?

    Check if your users have a valid and working shell:

    $ lsuser -f marlon
    marlon:
            id=103
            pgrp=system
            groups=system,ingres,grupo10,unix
            home=/home/unix/marlon
            shell=/usr/bin/ksh
            gecos=Marlon Borba
            roles=

    $

    Also, check if that shell is listed into /etc/security/user:

    usw:
            shells =
    /bin/sh,/bin/bsh,/bin/csh,/bin/ksh,/bin/tsh,/usr/bin/sh,/usr/bi
    n/bsh,/usr/bin/csh,/usr/bin/ksh,/usr/bin/tsh,/usr/sbin/sliplogin,/usr/sbin/uucp/

    It is not either of those either... this is very puzzling...

    a) the /home directory was mounted, only 36% utilized.. I could cd into
    /home, I could write files to /home, I could delete files from /home and I
    could execute ksh programs out of my home directory (as root, since I
    could not login as myself of course).

    b) As for it being program related.. the application users on the system
    run a /home/*/.profile that does give them application specific
    attributes.. however, my .profile does not have anything application
    related in it... neither does the other two sys admins who are here.
    Application specific was ruled out, since I was having the same problem
    and I have nothing related to any application in my .profile

    Tks for all the input!

    That's not the case; /etc/nologin doesn't hang the session. The problem
    appears to be either a home directory not mounted or a program which runs
    upon users' login but doesn't work as expected.

    Abraços,

    We had a similar problem when the user directories couldn't be mounted
    because automount got hung.  We had to reboot.
