New problem here:  This morning, I tried to log into my machine and 
couldn't get in over the network -- At first, I would get prompted for a 
password, but eventually even that didn't come up.  It wouldn't refuse 
connect or anything else...it just wouldn't work.

I had a buddy go to the console and try to get in.   He made it just to 
prior where he should get a prompt, he claims.

A look at /var/log/messages didn't tell me anything useful...no messages 
about not enough swap or anything else obvious.

My first guess was I was out of swap space -- perhaps some program not
releasing memory when it's done.  Now I'm less than sure.  Any suggestions
for where to look, and what to watch for in case this happens again? 

Thanks

Brian
