i have seen a similar problem when a hdd on the system died. the load can get so high that the system has a hard time running. when you connect/login does it go real fast or is there a big pause inbetween the connect and the login? and when it freezes are you comming from the same ip everytime? if its a different ip its possible that if the machine was cracked someone put up a script to firewall incoming connections, since SSH stores the ip of the client in a shell variable, it would be quite easy to do(i use that variable to page me hwe users login to my boxes) nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
