There is no SElinux setup.

The starnge thing ist, that if i boot into runlevel 1 and than switch 
manually into runlevel 3, I can log in by console and by ssh. Also I'm 
able to start the deamons crond, webmin,... which hang.

If I boot directy into runlevel 3 the system hangs if I autostart the 
deamons and if I disable the deamons I'M not allowed to login...

Any more ideas?


Thanks a lot and best regrads
