Sounds vaguely like this bug, but that was fixed in Solaris 10.
5021539 pkcs11_softtoken object_store on krb/nfssec home dir catch 22
<http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5021539>
I'd be checking out exactly *why* the SSH client hangs - does the the
open() system call return an error? If ssh hangs what's the stack trace
(pstack)? Have you turned on the ssh verbose flags? What version of ssh
are you using? What's distinctive about this home directory? Does it
have a .sunw directory? Are you using security for the NFS mount ...
lots of things to be checking.
Also, as you are using Solaris 10 you should be able to call Sun
Services for support. The OpenSolaris aliases are primariy for
OpenSolaris related discussions.
