Try rebooting.  Telnet into the Qube and read through the system log
file which may provide some clues on what has gone wrong.

Glen, and others...

Well,  looks like the box is locked up. it serves up the virtual sites I
have on it, but FTP, email and Telnet won't work. The admin section still
says Imap, Pop3 and ftp services have severe problems. I've rebooted 2-3
times from the web server, and even tripped over to the site where the
server is, and manually rebooted from the LCD panel.  Still no go. I can
access my admin panel via browser, but cannot FTP, can't get in with an
email client, and can't telnet into the box, as anybody. root or otherwise.
It just terminates the connection before even asking for a login or
password. I've tried shutting ftp, email and telnet down first, saving
changes, and rebooting, from the web interface, then restarting FTP, Telnet,
and email and rebooting again.  This made the warning light go out after the
first reboot, but after the second reboot, with services restarted, the
warning light comes back on, with an indication of a severe problem.

I think I'm gonna have to scrap it and start all over.  Unless anybody has
any other suggestions.

Eric
