No connection to ncx cluster

Dear experts,

I am facing a problem trying to connect to ncx NICA cluster. The connection couldn’t be established for a several days now with the following error message:
“Connection to ncx103.jinr.ru closed by remote host.
Connection to ncx103.jinr.ru closed.”
I’ve checked all interactive gates 101-106 with the same result. Does anyone know why is the cluster not working and when it will be on-line again?

Hi,
I do not see such a problem now:
$ ssh kmikhail@ncx105.jinr.ru
kmikhail@ncx105.jinr.ru’s password:

There was 1 failed login attempt since the last successful login.

	    Attention!  Attention! Attention!

	New scratch disks /scratch1 and /scratch2 are now mounted on the ncx-cluster.
           The old scratch disk /weekly is now a link to /scratch1.

Now it seems to be working. But I really don’t understand why it takes so much efforts to make a stable computing cluster.
