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

What about using ssh to connect to one of the servers?

Although you're probably aware of this, I should mention that telnet is rarely used due to fundamental security deficiencies. Also, Redhat 6.2 is extremely outdated, and is also full of security problems fixed in later releases.

thanks jcspray..

SSh is working fine..But i would like to know what whould have caused this problem..and I need to resolve the problem for logging in Virtual console..
I cant depend upon GUI for login.
