init process looping / Sol 8

From: Geoff Lane (zzassgl@buffy.sighup.org.uk)

I have a multi-cpu system where the init process is looping and taking 100%
of one CPU. We use NIS+. pstack implies that init is looping following some
PAM operation. Normal network login is OK but console login is not possible
- no prompt is provided. I've tried "telinit q" and "kill -HUP" but init
ignores both. Some additional info is provided below.

Is there anything other than a reboot that I can try to clear this problem?

Thanks.
