Hi, I have my own server which is located in US. It's running CentOS 5.3.
I tried to ssh it today.. no go. I could ping it, but none of the services were accessible: http, ssh, etc.. I tried to connect using serial. I could see the welcome message, but I couldn't login (timeout). The only option left was to ... reboot the server (manually by a technician..) After rebooting, I don't see anything that might cause the issue. /var/log/messages doesn't show anything, neither any apache error log. The only evidence that something seriously happened was in the sendmail log: Sep 17 12:57:41 hetz sendmail[2707]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 140 Sep 17 12:57:56 hetz sendmail[2707]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 141 Sep 17 12:58:11 hetz sendmail[2707]: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average: 140 Yikes! So my question: What do you do in case you have the same scenario? what steps do you take to prevent things like that from happening?
