No. it doesn't. Webmin works and I've been able to remove and reinstall
the ssh daemon and that doesn't fix it either.

If i use webmin to restart the daemon it tells me it has started running
but it must die instantly, though sadly seems to leave no trace in the
logs.

Webmin means I can do (almost) everything I need but it is very
frustrating not to have a proper CLI.

Anyone else seem similar behaviour or have any sort of other clue?

Thanks
