Maybe something was triggering a stat call that was doing an LDAP lookup. In a situation where LDAP lookups are causing these problems, password auth will not help. You'd see the exact same problem, except that the password authentication itself would also fail.
I just checked bots-1. Its keys mount wasn't mounted. I restarted autofs and the mount came back. This was also due to the ldap issues.
