Well at least DISPLAY variable the most common problem is eliminated. You got the prompt.

I would check the permissions on the home directory, especially the dot dtprofile files (.dtprofile and such).

I'd see if there is anything strange going on in those files.

I'd next check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for any evidence of failed logins. Could be a lot of things. If you dig up a little more data you may figure it out without itrc help.
