Sounds like you've moreorless got it working.

Try logging in on the server and running

	sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys

and then try logging in from a client again.

When you login from a client, what actually happens is a secure (ssh)
connection opens up between the client and the server.  This involves
verifying the server's key.  If the server changes IP address, the key no
longer matches and at the moment, things fail silently.  This is to be
rectified soon hopefully.

If the above solution works, that makes sense.

We really have to start up up a FAQ.  Does anyone know where best we do
this?  The wiki presumably?
