I was having a problem with quota hanging during login:

The solution is to disable the quota program during login (if you
aren't using quotas). Several methods were given:
1. Comment out the calls to quota from /etc/.login and /etc/profile.
2. Mount all filesystems that aren't under quota control with the
noquota option.
3. mv quota quota.real; link quota to /bin/true.
Also, verify you aren't getting NFS timeouts (NFS server ... not
responding in /var/adm/messages).
