[cobalt-users] cced died, ps -aux hangs at /usr/bin/swatch

[josh <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I seem to be having a new problem with my RaQ3i/550. I noticed I was
losing my ssh after issuing ps commands. I tried to reboot just so all
the processes would start up. After I rebooted I couldn't even get to
the web interface; I'd login ok, but a message came up saying, "A
crucial system component (CCE) is currently not operating. Please try
again in a moment." 

A 'ps -aux ' hangs after listing some processes at the swatch. Top
fails. I am trying to restart processes by hand at an attached
terminal which seems to have the same results.

I have no idea if this is a known problem, the result of remote
hacking attempts, hardware or what. Any advice on how to proceed will
be appreciated.
