I've never come across this problem before. Rebooting doesn't help and none of the running processes are taking much in the way of resources or memory....

The pages are served very fast, ssh is fast once in but...

Anything that requires authentication is at a crawl. It takes minutes for SSH to actually login, e-mail is failing because it's taking too long, the server also has webmin running which is at a crawl too. Like I say though everything else is fine from script pages through to mysql queries.

First thought was brute force attack but wouldn't that also be having an affect on overall speed not just authentication stuff? I can also see nothing else to suggest one.

Any suggestions?
