Dear All, An interesting and disturbing problem recently appeared on our server which is running FBSD 5.3. Rather suddenly, all users found themselves locked out because ssh stopped working. We had to send an email to tech support at our hosting service (Netsonic). They said this seems to be happening frequently on many FreeBSD servers (something to do with reaching the limit of ssh connections). They didn't tell us how to solve the problem, but they suggested rebooting, which should return the server under our control. We asked them to reboot and they did, problem solved for now. I'm wondering if anyone knows what is causing this, and if there is a permanent solution? The server was running fine for four months without issues - this just suddenly came out of the blue. TIA, Robert
