[LON-CAPA-admin] access servers lost connection?

[Todd Ruskell]

I need some help on this one.  Any ideas?

Access servers no longer authenticate.  I don't see any indications on the 
library server.  Below is the output from logs, ps, etc. from one of the 
access servers, which make it clear why authentication isn't working.  The 
question is why did the connections die?  I have similar output from both 
access servers.  

The potential red-herring is that I just attempted to install the ssl keys for 
the library server, and shortly after that these failures happened.  The ssl 
keys for the access servers had been installed with no problems for some 
time.  I have stopped and started both loncontrol and httpd on the access and 
library servers.  I should say that the ssl keys on the library server 
appeared to work just fine, as "ps auxww" shows the appropriate (ssl) 
indications, and the correct files show up in /home/httpd/lonCerts.

Thanks,

Todd
