remsh does not return with prompt

[Matthias Oswald]

we have the following problem on a client workstation:

When trying to remsh or rlogin on this machine (HP-UX 10.10) with a NIS defined user, is does not reach the prompt.
With a local user like root it works fine.
The profiles (/etc, .profile and kshrc) are all performed and trying to kill the ksh process even with -9 does not work.
The parent rlogind can be killed, which leaves the ksh process detached.

moswald 1255 1 0 09:16:02 ? 0:00 -ksh
moswald 1294 1 0 09:16:29 ? 0:00 -ksh
moswald 1400 1311 0 09:24:36 ? 0:00 -ksh
moswald 1502 1 0 09:27:07 ? 0:00 -ksh
moswald 1627 1 0 09:39:49 ? 0:00 -ksh

Any idea what could cause this problem ?
Any help is much appreciated

Thanks,
Matthias Oswald
