Hi again.. I have a worse problem. (CentOS release 6.7)
Several hours after restart (some times over night) I am not able to login remotely via ssh. I can login from the terminal OK.
After restarting a whole bunch of services I finally found the only reliable way to get it running again was.
Code:
# service rsyslog restart
When I run that from the console I immediately get a whole bunch of output relating to aide and modules? I suppose these apps had been waiting for rsyslog.
This morning it happened again while I was logged in remotely. I notice the ssh session became very sluggish, but top did not show any heavy CPU load. At this point I could not open a second SSH session it would just hang forever and not prompt for user name.
time started around 0930

Note most logs are from yesterday.
/var/log/messages : Seems to only be logging that I restart rsyslog and nothing else? Aside from the mouse that keep getting remounted all the time?

I have tried reinstalling rsyslog and turning off UseDNS in sshd_config but has had no effect.
A few similar reports online mentioned this may be an unrelated service but I lost the link
Thanks.
sshd hangs - rsyslog related?
