Ok, I've found the cause of this now. When using the SSH-2 capable applet,
you need to set the 'Hostname to connect to' on the Module Config page to
the hostname of your Webmin server (as shown in the URL). Webmin is supposed
to work this out automatically, but due to a bug it doesn't..

The next release will fix this properly.
