There is a prompt that you enter a username to, then it just hangs 
instead of giving a password prompt?  Most definitely odd...

error logs should all be in the directory /var/log.  Try a connection, 
and once it errors out, do a tail on any files that have their 
timestamps updated indicating that they were just written to at the 
time of your connection attempt...they might have info that could be of 
help.
