Thanks for that info. I tried logging into the box using ssh from the command line and that also failed, so I don't think it's a putty issue.
I'm still not sure of the source of the problem, but the box in question is a linode UML node and was running kernel 2.6.10-linode12 on ubuntu hoary. I've switched the kernel to 2.4.29-linode39-1um and it works just fine. Unless I'm missing something, there seems to be precious little logging explaining whats actually happening, but I'll raise a ticket with linode and see if they can fix/solve the mystery. I'll just leave the kernel at 2.4 for the moment. Thanks, Rob.
