Well, thanks for the usual great responses, but that was an symptom of a
larger problem.
The message I pasted was, unfortunately, bogus. Our operator typed it
incorrectly. There is no such thing as a 'uname -h' in Solaris............
The whole problem turned out to be a swap problem.
The user we werw trying to log in was OK but the home direcory vanished.
# ls -l /home
total 0
But when tried to list the full pathname, the ls locked:
# ls -l /home/troubleduser
(...)
Bad omen.
Started to check the whole system.
user@troubledhost # swap -l
swapfile dev swaplo blocks free
/dev/md/dsk/d40 85,40 16 3821408 1888272
/ora01/swapfile1 ?,? 16 4192224 2262176
Gess what? /ora01/swapfile1 was removed. The swapper was paging out to
nowhere.
Tried to remove the reference to the deleted file by swap -d, but the command
refused to do so, because the file wasn4t there.
The system eventually deadlocked. Fortunately enough, I removed the reference
from the vfstab before the crash.
The system is OK now.
Cheers,
Filipe.

Forumers,
I think a bad thing happened with /usr/lib.
Tha machine is mostly funcional, but we can4t still log-in.
Im my perception, the following message we get when a console is attached, is
the key:
INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors.
id: co "/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p " 'uname -h ' console login: " -T sun -d
/dev/console -l console -m ldterm, ttcombat"
Any insights? Couldn4t find anything meaningful in google and sunsolve.
Thanks in advance,
Filipe

Hi fellow forumers,
We have an E4500 wich we can4t login. It seems to autenthicate but we never
get the prompt:
"
Escape character is '^]'.
SunOS 5.9
login: bogususer
Password:
Login incorrect
login: validuser
Password:
"
If the login is valid, it autenthicates an locks. Same happens to ssh:
"
hostorig # ssh validuser@hostdest
validuser@hostdest's password:
"
Locks again.
Wen we try to connect the console:
"
INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors.
id: co "/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p " 'uname -h ' console login: " -T sun -d
/dev/console -l console -m ldterm, ttcombat"
"
Net services are functional, AFAIK. "rpcinfo -p troubledhost" responds
soundly.
Any ideas???? What are the chances that a reboot solves the problem?
Thanks, and needless to say, it is very urgent.
Filipe.
