After running this script, I opened up a new telnet session to the machine, and sure enough, the /etc/issue.net was displayed, I was told what version of Tru64 UNIX it was, and what PTY i was on.. BUT NO login: prompt!!
I had to go to the console, (luckily I was already logged in), and stop and restart the prpasswd daemon.
It looks like a prpasswd bug rather than an misconfig on our part, as the 1200 was an upgrade install, the ES40 was full install and both exhibit the same problem. I DO have a ticket open with Compaq support, and I imagine there will be a bugfix soon. I decided to post this now because our 1200 system is a lightly loaded one, and this problem pops up almost every day - sometimes twice a day -- so I'm almost sure others will experience this as well.

----Original problem ----
We have recently upgraded serveral of our systems to v5.0. One
system in particular (intermittently) hangs when the login program is called
either at the command line or by telnetd or by ftpd (or any other daemon).
Though our web servers weren't affected...seems like any server that
didn't have to authenticate a password worked...
When you try to telnet in, you get the issue.net file displayed, then you get the "Tru64 UNIX..... (pts/4)" line displayed, then it hangs. With FTP, after you enter your username, it hangs.
