It wouldn't refuse connect or anything else...it just wouldn't work. I had a buddy go to the console and try to get in. He made it just to prior where he should get a prompt, he claims. A look at /var/log/messages didn't tell me anything useful...no messages about not enough swap or anything else obvious. My first guess was I was out of swap space -- perhaps some program not releasing memory when it's done. Now I'm less than sure. Any suggestions for where to look, and what to watch for in case this happens again? Thanks Brian
