No shell prompt?
When I login to a specific machine (running Solaris 2.8; actually serveral machines behave this way), with a known good account, I don't get any shell prompt, and no screen responses to various commands such as ID and PWD. Any ideas on what is causing this, and how to change this behavior?

Is this account a NIS or NIS+ account with a home directory via NFS? If so, then it's the NFS that is hanging you up. It's trying to mount the home directory and is waiting on the NFS server (or the network is so busy it can't get there). That is where you should start looking IF you are having the same thing on all accounts that have NFS home directories.
