    I'm running a RedHat Enterprise 3 ES server that has been running fairly
    reliably for a month. This morning we could not remotely login to the
    server via SSH because openssh would terminate the connection immediately
    (no delay) after apparently successfully logging in - without giving a
    prompt. We are current on patches up to Feb 1 with the exception of the
    kernel which is RHES 2.4.21-4.0.1.ELsmp. A console reboot succeeded in
    restoring connectivity. We couldn't find any footprints in any log or any
    suspicious file activity. No record of the failed logins (we attempted
    using both pubkey and password) were in the logs. The openssh version is
    RedHat's 3.6.1p2-18.

    Has anyone else seen something similiar?
