They restored power about 30 minutes later, and one box came up no problem. The other has a login prompt on the serial console, but my login does not work. I get a "Login incorrect" message, even though the username/ password is correct. When I try to SSH into the box, I get this (server name changed): $ ssh user@example.com -p 48420 ssh: connect to host example.com port 48420: Connection refused In other words, I seem to be locked out. I don't want to do anything drastic without having a good idea what I'm doing. Any suggestions, much appreciated. -- John
