I got some suggestions as follow (I haven=B4t tested it yet, but I =
will),

-1. Eyal Edri > ...try to disable the NUM LOCK. some Xwindows on =
several sun
station got stuck , until we figured it was the num lock pressed .=20

-2. Mike Salehi > ...try kbd -r

-3. Richard J. Buchman > ...telnet back to the affected system, try a
keyboard reset to see if that breaks the lock.

-4. Dave Ballesteros > ...check the setting of hme0 port and compare it =
to
its server.
(his original message) : May not be your problem, but I recently ran =
into a
problem where the network
switch that was connected to the hme0 port on one of our servers was =
set to
autonegotiate 100/Full, and my hme0 port was set to 100/Full.  I was =
getting
periodic console messages (and the network engineer confirmed his logs =
were
getting messages as well) indicating my hme0 port link had gone down,
followed quickly by messages saying hme0 had been re-established.  When =
this
occurred, if I was in a session at the time, I could not key anything =
in
from the keyboard. I ended up having to close the xterm session, start
another session and login again.  We asked the network folks to lock =
the
switch at 100/full instead of using autonegotiate to resolve this =
problem.

-5. Farzad Hejazi > ...sometimes a combination of the CONTROL key and
another key can cause this situation.=20

Thanks a lot.
