Re: SSH Connection Problems

Borge,

According to the company I host with, it was several thousand
connections from my username which brought down the server that hosted
about 900 odd domains. Needless to say, I wasn't very popular :(

I'll ask the sysadmin to scan the authlogs (or other logs) or even
better send them to me so that I can analyze it...

Thanks for the help,

Dawid
