    Hi all
     
    I don't know if any of you are around on a Sunday but I could use some help. Following from the issue I posted about on Friday (AdvFS strangeness on ASE, Unix 4.0E and ASE 1.5) I tried to move an in-a-strange-state ASE service from one host to the other. Of course the ASE move hung and now I can't login on either host, as root or any other user, via tty or X. Well, to be precise I can login but I never get to a shell prompt. Instead on each host I get the "NFS server xxx not responding still trying" and there it stays forever. The service in question contains the user home directories (on these systems it's "/usr/users") but I think root and other users are hanging because they are waiting for an all-users login script that's in that directory. But this is just a guess.
     
    Any ideas how to get to a shell prompt, short of hitting the reset switch and hoping one of them will come back up?
     
    Thanks
    John
