I don't have any password. We don't generally use passwords but ssh keys. In fact I believe you have a public ssh key installed under the root account. Cees may well know the root password, but he's the only one likely to know it.
However this is irrelevant. Ping works, yes. SSH starts a connection but you can't actually login. If you have a matching private key it queries you for the passphrase but then once you enter it, it immediately exits, often with an error that sounds like a memory issue. If you have no private keys it doesn't even offer you the opportunity to enter a password. Please try it, I would love to know if you get a different result.
Also, it should be noted that all of the services should start up cleanly, they have every time the server has been rebooted over the last month or so. We've done nothing that should have changed that, and yet they are not starting, or at least not working.
Surely Hetzner can provide more support than this?
keep in mind that it is us who reacts slow... bad. And it is a kind of a cheap account with hetzner. You get what you pay for. e.g. we could get Support on Sunday, for EUR 30/half hour or so. But then you need to keep in mind that regarding Pay, SqF is not in a state of beeing able to pay for the server sind >1 year *at all*.
