We have the same problem on our network. The work-around that I have found
that works is-
1. for the sun do a "rlogin machine &"
and while that is timing out
2. do another "rlogin machine"
this one will now get into the remote machine
3. do a "who" on machine to find who is the ghost user on hostb
4. kill the login shell of the ghost user.
>From here, until the next crash, rlogins work properly.
I have heard rumors that this problem is corrected in 4.3bsd and/or Sun 3.2.
Can anyone confirm/deny this rumor?
