I just tried it again and it was my typo (sorry).
Doh. 'Normally' when playing with Linux, if I select 'Logout' I'm left at a GUI Login box so didn't think to check that. This gives me Logout to command prompt so just what I wanted. ;-)
Noted.
I just tried that (the latter), rebooted and started Webmin and that suggests that SSH still isn't started (but SSH starts from the cli as per your Webmin instructions).
Well it did work initially so I'm sure it's something I've done (inadvertently or a bug etc).
Indiana Jones?
Thanks again for your noob tips on this mate.
I believe the following is the ssh config file from Webmin (in case it tell anyone anything):
"# Package generated configuration file # See the sshd_config(5) manpage for details
# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for Port 22 # Use these options to restrict which interfaces/protocols sshd will bind to #ListenAddress :: #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 Protocol 2 # HostKeys for protocol version 2 HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key #Privilege Separation is turned on for security UsePrivilegeSeparation yes

# Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication, account processing, # and session processing. If this is enabled, PAM authentication will # be allowed through the ChallengeResponseAuthentication and # PasswordAuthentication. Depending on your PAM configuration, # PAM authentication via ChallengeResponseAuthentication may bypass # the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password". # If you just want the PAM account and session checks to run without # PAM authentication, then enable this but set PasswordAuthentication # and ChallengeResponseAuthentication to 'no'. UsePAM yes"
