Any suggestions as to where to look next? I'm not even certain, yet, whether I'm missing something, or whether there actually is an issue here .... Try running your sshd with -vvv options, or probably more interestingly, attach ktrace to it. You'll see what hangs and where. If you are able to access the system, attach debugger to the hung process (look at ps output to see process states to see what's hung), and get the backtrace -- it will probably help you see why it's hung. If it's not sshd that hangs, you can use ktrace on other parts of the system. Lassi -- Behold the turtle.
