I'm posting, because I have not read this newsgroup until recently.
I had the same problem with a couple of microvaxen running 3.0 and
3.1. 

To make a long story very short, I installed BIND 4.8.1 over the
standard ultrix bind (4.7.3?) I ftp'd the bind from uunet.uu.net.

This cured our login problems.

I'd be interested in hearing a summary of what others have found.
