    SSH doesn't appear to be working on my remote server. I can connect
    fine, and am prompted with "login as: " with Putty, but when I enter my
    username it sits and hangs there for about a minute before a message
    comes up that says "Server unexpectedly closed network connection". SSH
    was working fine this morning around 11am. I just got back and now it's
    hanging. The only changes to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config that I made were
    to add my one user account. I rebooted and it worked fine this morning,
    so I don't know what the problem is now as I haven't touched it.

    Any ideas?
