install6.1 script hangs in session ottiex1289. During installation message "setting permissions and moving files moment please" is dispalyed and session is hanged.
I have tried to find the reason for the same but no error message in os errorlog or log.install6.1
Platform : RS6000 / AIX 4.3
No NIS demons running on the server.

This seems like a NIS problem, maybe it's worth to check your ports as well:
Solution description
VERSION(S): Baan IVc3/c4 Unix installation
SITUATION IDENTIFIED IN: install6.1 script, bshell hangs
ATTACHMENTS: n/a
SITUATION DESCRIPTION:
After loading the BaanIV Unix Master Tape, when you run the install6.1 script, it creates a temporary BSE and then hangs when it invokes ba6.1 with object ottiex1289. If you check the processes running on the system, the bshell is using 3%-10% of the CPU and is doing nothing.
SOLUTION DESCRIPTION:
There seems to be a bug with the bshell when installing on a clean system that uses NIS. It has something to do with the way the bshell looks up the port number for services. To solve this problem, either temporarily disconnect the system from the NIS server (kill the ypbind process), or remote NIS lookup for the services file.
For example, on DEC Unix V4.0D, edit the /etc/svc.conf file and make sure the "services" entry does not have the mention "yp" on its line, only "local":
aliases=local
group=local,yp
hosts=local,bind
netgroup=local
networks=local
passwd=local,yp
protocols=local
rpc=local
services=local <====
For example, on HP-UX 10.20, edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and make sure the "services" line does not have the mention "nis" on its line, only "files":
hosts: files dns nis
services: files <====
protocols: files
networks: files
rpc: files
netgroup: files
