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 ][/quote] -- ..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: -- # ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 32767 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 32767 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited -- Thanks!
