[BlueOnyx:02318] Sluggish passwords

[Alan Kline]

I've noticed over the last day or so that whenever I need to log into my 
shell, send mail, or do ftp, my BX box is taking forever (or at least 15 
or 20 seconds) to accept the password. I don't think I've done anything 
through the GUI that could have affected anything, and I know I haven't 
made any changes through the command line. I use port 333 for ssh (to 
thwart the hackers) but the problem seems to be the same if I change to 
any other port, including 22.

(I use ssh for the shell, and sftp...)

Any ideas?
