Hi Phil,
We tracked down the problem; ssh-keygen (which is run by mkserv
remote) was hanging reading from /dev/random. The daemon that feeds
/dev/random wasn't running because of an install bug. It's fixed now,
and for the affected machine, you should "mkdir /var/etc" as root, and
then reboot.
If you Control-C'ed any part of the mkserv remote process, you
might want to make sure your ssh_host_key was created correctly; if it
wasn't, you'll need to rm /etc/ssh_host_key* and run mkserv remote
again.
Garry
