Linux Console Hangs

Hi,

I have a problem on my RHEL 3 Linux. It starts well but the console
hangs as soon as I type the password even as root. I have Samba and
Webmin there and they both work very well but sshd and sendmail don't
- every login hangs the session the same way as on the console. I can
login on Webmin as root without problems.

/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files look good and I can create or delete
user through Webmin command shell. I can also execute some scripts but
not all.

crond doesn't work neither.

The first time when the problem appeared I was able to "solve" it
with simple reboot but since the third or forth reboot it doesn't
help anymore.

Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason for that? Thank you.

Svet
