    I have a problem on a server that runs SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 with LinuxShield when it loads the components and other services it stops at LinuxShield and it stays like that forever :( what can i do to stop this service with BootOptions something like noexec=linuxshield or what ?

    I do not use the McAfee Linux shield myself but i found this for you:

    To stop it: /etc/init.d/nails stop <enter>
    To start it: /etc/init.d/nails start <enter>

    I hope that might help you.

    the problem is that it doesn't load at all and the only solution is to reinstall ( impossible is from the school ) or to kill this process from starting up with the Boot Options

    From here the only thing that i can do is to restart Ctrl Alt Del

    Mcafee LinuxShield requires a complete rebuild of the Linux kernel and because i am not an expert with Linux Shield, i can't help you any further at this point. :(
    (I don't want to break your system).

    i want to stop it from the Boot Options to skip the start of LinuxShield that might solve the problem

    TRy CTRL+ALT+F2 to open a new terminal screen and login as root.
    If you're successful, post the output of the file Falko has requested.
