Urgent SSH issue

Hi everyone,

I have a Solaris 8 system that clients connect to under a single account
to start management software. Today suddenly the software refused to
start. Note that I am not able to restart this system.

Upon further investigation, I determined that under the management
account I could not Forward X sessions in SSH. If I tried logging in
with X Forwarding on I would not receive the shell prompt, it would
simply freeze. With the root account I could login with X forwarded and
the management account can login if X is set to not forward.

I assume that there is a file corrupted or locked somewhere that is
locking SSH with X forwarded. Has anyone seen this behavior before or
have any idea which file may be causing this?

I'm using OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, and yes I have restarted the service many
times.

Thanks,

Jared
