NFS

I did: "rm -rf $HOME /etc/profile". ksh still doesn't start.

I installed PHCO_33169, GoldApps11i and GoldBase11i from June '05 and
also all the patches, that cpm_collect.sh from ITRC has
shown. This also required a reboot of the machine.

ksh still hangs :(

Any further ideas?

Have a look at the last line of the tusc output:

fcntl(2047, F_SETLK, 0x40003868) ..................................................................... [sleeping]

What's it doing there? It's calling fcntl() with F_SETLK, right?
This means, it's trying to set a lock, correct? Why is that
hanging?
