SSH login hangs, serial console works
Server, running AIX 6.1 developed strange problem when logging in via SSH -- ssh client hangs without any error.
It is possible to run commands on server, using ssh ("ssh servername ls -l" is OK)
It is possible to log in normally, using serial console connected to server.
It was possible to access server, using pconsole web interface but it does not work any longer (Error 500: com.ibm.ws.portletcontainer.pcinvoker.PortletContainerAccess)
I noticed, that "getty" process is not running, maybe this is somehow related to this problem.
Any ideas or suggestions where to start digging, considering that server itself is located in another city?
