Hi there..
I've got a strange problem with a 6.3-RELEASE-p5 web server. From time to time it stops responding to http requests and when I try to ssh into it - it prompts me for username and then password but nothing happens after I type in the password. The ssh session just hangs. Same thing when trying to login on the console. I can type in username, then it prompts me for password but I can't see if I'm typing it in or the session is already frozen. However the machine responds to ping just fine and the ssh/console login session prompts fine but I just can't seem to login and all services are down.
When momentary pressing the power button or ctrl+alt+del the machine goes through the normal shut down sequence and boots up just fine.
I'm not sure where I could look for hints for what the problem is, the message logs show nothing and I'm sort of lost.
