Our Solaris 2.3 box (hard) mounts files from a NFS server running BSDI.  

When the NFS server is down, in addition to the constant error messages
on the Sun console about mount failing, the login's to the Sun box slow
down to a crawl.

The mounted file systems have no relation to the login processes (ie they
do not contain any home directories or executables).  I'm unable to
see why logins would be affected except for a vague notion that it
has something to do with rpcbind.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
