I must apologise for not replying to these suggestions,
Thanks for the suggestions but I have not had much opportunity to follow
them up.
Will try to get onto it soon.
This is not really a machine that I have a great deal of control over
(or want a great deal of control over) but I do have root and will have
a rummage around.
Cheers guys,
Zane

Any ssh login ignores the first password entry. We have now got into the
habit of pressing enter before entering the password.
Firstly, you should be using public key authentication, not passwords.
The first port of call when debugging an ssh problem is to use the verbose
logging option on the client (-v through -vvv) to see what's going on.
Next, check if sshd is logging anything after the first failed password
authentication attempt. You might need to turn up the log verbosity in
sshd_config to get enough information.
