VPS hangs after username entry

[lapunluyang]

Anybody encountered this symptom before? When I attempt to login to the ssh session using putty, after entering the username, the session will hang. I didn’t make any modification to allow login from certain IP address. It is openVZ vps btw. The website is up and running (so the vps is not down)

You might try using a saved session and set the Option "Keepalive".

putty -ssh -t -pw -m tail-exec -load 'session-name'

Alternately, you may also try using a different ssh client and check if you face the same issue with it as well.
