For starters, I won't have physical access to this machine for about a month, so I'm looking for a way to remotely reboot it. I've ssh'd to it dozens of times in the past, but it seems like it booted up cranky and isn't taking SSH connections. If there is a way to force a reboot without authentication, I'll take that answer too, but I'd like to figure out this SSH error. Tried SSH from MacOSX, Ubuntu, and PuTTY, same result.
Sanitized -vvv log below: Shows one intentional failed password attempt, and then the immediate "connection closed" error upon successful password entry.
