Only administrators can connect

We have been having a problem recently where all of a sudden sql starts
denying connections. The errors in the sql log say "login failed for
<user>. only administrators may connect at this time". I've been unable to
find any documentation on the net for what exactly this is and I can't seem
to figure out what's causing it. Any suggestions?Did you by any chance start the server with -m? If so, remove -m will allow
non administrator to connect.

all of a sudden it just starts denying connections.
