USB keyboard and mouse don't work in runlevel 5 after system hardening
Issue
- After performing some system hardening (e.g. STIG), we rebooted our server. It seems the mouse and keyboard work fine during the boot process, up until the point the graphical interface loads -- after that, we're only able to connect to the system remotely.
