I've just been attempting an (more than just slightly) overdue upgrade from Etch to Lenny on a machine I don't have physical access to. At first, everything seemed to work fine. But after a while my connection (over ssh) was dropped and all my box returns now is 'connection closed' when I try to reconnect. It gives me this:
wouter@wouter-desktop:~$ ssh -vvv root@www.#########.nl

Of course I've already activated customer support, hoping that my hosting company is willing to physically go to the server. But I was hoping that you might have some suggestions on what I might be able to try. Though I know my options are limited :(
And at the same time I'm wondering what's causing it, and how I could have prevented it. I upgraded with a simple: apt-get dist-upgrade
Thanks!
Wouter
