Hi all,

odd behavior here...

Today one of our core systems stopped accepting ssh connections.
--
$ telnet sshserver 22
Trying 1.2.3.4...
Connected to sshserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed.
--

Using a pre-established session rsyslog was shutdown:
--
# /etc/init.d/rsyslog stop
Shutting down system logger:                               [  OK

--

..and the system started accepting connections again:
--
$ ssh sshserver
Last login: Thu Oct  8 01:12:59 2009 from foo.bar.tld
--

We are just one step before dropping rsyslog and use syslog-ng again
(which was dismissed some time ago to favor rsyslog) but I would like to
know what's the reason for this and, most important, what's the solution
:-)

Some additional info:
