There are many things that could cause symptoms like that -- a
misconfigured NFS server, broken name services, strange shell
extensions, serial problems, and even hardware trouble. You need to
narrow down the search space.

The first thing I'd do is get the system into this state, with a hung
terminal session. Then, without terminating that one, log in via a
separate terminal session. Find the original stuck session using
`ptree'. Then use `pstack' and `truss' to find out what those stuck
processes are doing.

If that doesn't reveal anything, use `mdb' with this command:

::threadlist -v ! less

Look around for the stuck processes and examine the kernel stacks
associated with them. This may provide clues about what the process
is attempting to do and why it's stuck.

Of course, you could also call Sun's support group.
