NO it does not, it says, "Authentication failure" and then sorry.

I have encoured a simalar problem years ago, my problem was caused by a disk 
that was 100% full.
It may seem strange but AFAI see it, if the disk is full syslog(d) cannot 
write to /var/log/syslog and rejects connections, at least that is what i 
belive happend to me.
