jdlangdon LQ Newbie Registered: Dec 2000 Posts: 1 Rep:	I have 2 yes TWO Red Hat 6.2 servers running side by side with the same problem and I really need some help. The problem is when I try to telnet into either of the servers it never asks me for a username or password, it just hangs after: Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot) Kernel 2.2.14-5.0smp on an i686 Also, if I try to enter a virtual console it will ask me for a username but then it hangs and I'm not given the option to enter a password. The funny thing about this is that the GUI is working fine. I can log into GNOME as ROOT and preform any administrative task I need and log out again. I just can't login from a virtual console or telnet. I guess I should mention that this was working and just stopped and as far as I can tell, there is nothing new installed on either system. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Jason
