I discovered a mal-configured rule in iptables respecting access to
the local sshd. As this is a gateway machine other connections to
port 22 on different ips have to pass through it. I had conflated
the separate requirements of local and network access into a single
rule which simply did not serve the multiple purposes I imagined it
did.
