You might also try logging in as admin and doing a "df". If the /var
partition is showing up as being at 100% capacity, you've found the root of
your problem. You'll need to clean out any large logfiles that may be taking
up space, etc. Also, check the patch level of the server. If I'm not
mistaken, there was a problem with logs not being rotated that could
eventually lead to a situation like this. If I'm not mistaken, the fix for
this was part of OS Update 3.0.
