Well, I can not reach the console at this moment (it's a machine
located somewhere else) but the weird part is that I *can* connect
(using telnet) but no "login:" appears:

acid2:/1/home/skin$ telnet mymachine.nl
Trying 212.104.204.x...
Connected to mymachine.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.

So the daemon ain't dead...

With regards,
