There are two things that you can check. First, check that there are
sufficient i-nodes. Do a 'df -i' to see how many free i-nodes are left.
This doesn't happen often but it can be hard to find.
Second, check if auditd is running. The default configuration on auditd
stops logins, interactive connections (like ssh, scp, etc.) if /var is
over 80% full. If you don't need auditd running, I would shut it down.

I have a rhel 3 EM64T system that was working awesome until yesterday. I
was transferring some files with scp and it just failed in the middle of
it. I try to log back in and after I enter my password it hangs. I had
terms open tried to change to su it hangs. I go to the terminal some
stuff works and others don't like service control and logs guis. I do a
ctr-alt-backspace, and gnome doesn't start. Well I still have a login
that hangs after I enter the password. I restart, and can log in. I can
also su -l user and that works for a bit. As well as the guis that
require authentication too(the ones that didn't work before). I did
updates a week ago and it was running fine until yesterday. I am only
having problems with that. Apache php and mysql are still running
strong. Maybe a pam issue? I turned off ssh, and ftp and it still does
this.
Thanks for any help.
