You're dead right about debian dicking with the defaults, but sadly the
problem was much more mundane than that.

I had previously checked the webserver config, hosts.allow, etc ...
but I completely forgot that I run a firewall (it's just so
quite) ...

Doh!

Sorry for wasting everyone's time, but thanks for all the help.  

I certainly know a bit more about Zope and Plone now than I did
before.... and probably more than I would have learnt from the docs in
the same time.

So thanks again.
