Random SSH disconnection? (server at rackshack)

I was working on my rackshack server when I began getting random ssh disconnection. The server would suddenly closes the connection, and for a few minutes, it would continue to reject my login. I can eventually login, but this has happened for a few times.

I am very puzzled about this. I can't figure out why this is happening. Rackshack's network looked fine, so its probably not the network's fault. (ping, webmin, and http also worked, although not at the time of disconnection).

I have checked the diskspace, and it is still only 50% used, so it can't be log file overflow (if this should even be a concern). The CPU usage, free memory, and network usage all looked fine (from a stat program that I have).

Any idea why this happened? Could this be somekind of hacking? Should I be alarmed?

Thanks,

Peter
