Server issue

The website appears to be functioning more or less normally, but I am
unable to ssh in to the machine. I get a prompt, and type my
password, and then I'm hung indefinitely (over an hour and waiting).

This is true for both my account (jwales) and root.

Before I do anything drastic like power-cycle the machine, I'll just
wait to see if anyone else can get in.

All I really wanted to do was to play aroud with the logs to see
what's the most popular stuff from google.

Here's what happened -- I sent my email to the list, and it never
showed up. Sendmail generally takes a break if the server load is
high, and it's hard to get ssh to answer if the server load is REALLY
high. After waiting for an hour, I decided that ssh would never
answer me, so I power-cycled the machine.

Everything seems joyful now.
