>Weird thing happened this morning though, suddenly the box seemed half-dead. >I didn't touch it, someone else noticed because they weren't able to ssh in. >TCP connection established, but no auth phase. >I also noticed in my active ssh sessions, that things were "dead", in the >sense that when on the shell prompt, pressing ENTER only gave me a new, >blank line. Logging in via serial console didn't work either, put in >username and press ENTER and nothing happened. > This may be unrelated, but I had almost exactly these symptoms on April 1st with RELENG_5_3 built from March 25th cvsup. SSH connection got a bit further. prompted on remote system with correct key fingerprint, but got no further. Same scroll-only behavior on console, I could still change vtys, but each had the problem. No response to ctl-alt-del, so pulled plug. No jails or unionfs, running Apache1.3, mysql4.1, PHP 4 and Zend ZDE server 4. msi km4m-v, 256 ddr333, AthlonXP1800+. Last thing in syslog was making xpdf from ports. I put it down at the time to having earlier tried to launch openoffice installer from the machine over ssh-tunneld-X, which never come up. Figured it had quietly eaten all the mem or such. Hasn't recurred, box is otherwise absolutely stable. -- </jcr>
