Leopard query

Dear Lazy Web: I'm at my wit's end. Mac OS/X Leopard server. I didn't install or configure the OS. DirectoryService used. SSH in, "sudo" and similar work for a little while (a minute or two), and then stop working. Similarly, in that time, "ls -al" shows owners of files, afterwards it shows uids.

This is also a PITA because "ssh" and "svn" with an https access scheme also no longer work.

I'd like this fixed overall, but the more annoying local problem is that I can't build a reliable script with the setuid bit that can then do a bunch of ssh and svn operations (in this case, checking out to a testing area, and then deploying the testing area to the live server).

Any OS/X gurus out there know what's killing me here?
