Next time this happens, could you do an rpcinfo -p before rebooting?
Also, the user's ~/.dt/startlog and/or ~/.dt/errorlog might be useful.

That's a bug in the installation -- in reality, you do not need
rpc.ttdbserver at all.  The one that is failing above (preventing
login) is ttsession.

Maybe rpcinfo -p will help.  It seems odd that it works, and then just
stops.  Is it really every 14 days?  Or some number or logins?
