Hi Dean,

If I recall correctly, *nx uses ssh instead of listening on its own port
so if ssh is working then this is a little baffling.

Are you able to ssh into the master as root after launching the cluster?:

$ starcluster sshmaster

If you want to share the AMI with me I can give it a shot and have a
look. My userid is:

342652561657
