in fact, I've seen an Apple XServe (two G4 1GHz processors) running
MacOS
X Server beeing DOSed by a remote Nagios probe testing it's sshd once
per
minute. On OSX, sshd runs from xinetd. The box used to need hard reboot
once
a day until the problem was identified and the nagios probe was
disabled.
my 2 cents.
