>Description:
>From time to time it is not possible to login. Neither via ssh nor directly at the console. After typing a login-name and password it hangs. Just a presumption: Maybe the gettys are not running?
Other things (samba, network) are running and still usable.
I can't see any correlation between this behavior and an event like a cronjob, network traffic or hardware issues.
>How-To-Repeat:
Waiting. It can last a few days or weeks (non-stop operation).
>Fix:
Not realy a fix but the only way to get a commandline again: Perform a reset.
