After a closer inspection I realised that I received "martians" in my /var/log/warn. Having absolutely no idea what it meant, I googled it without being much wiser.
I then realised I had a problem with my routes since I couldn't resolve any DNS or ping the outside world.
I found that a static route was missing, so after issuing
Code:
route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.1 br0
Which made my route look much better
Code:
ivmsles01:/var/log # ip route sh
192.168.1.0/24 dev br0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.77
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default via 192.168.1.1 dev br0
I got back on track, the martians went back to Mars and after a bit of firewalling, my server responded nicely to external hosts as well on SSH.
I'm really sorry that I didn't really do my homework completely before crying out for help - if you get to Denmark some day, I'll buy you a beer for your trouble

pam_guest
PAM_GUEST(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAM_GUEST(8)NAME
pam_guest -- Guest PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_guest [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
The guest service module for PAM allows guest logins. If successful, the pam_guest module sets the PAM environment variable GUEST to the
login name. The application can check this variable using pam_getenv(3) to differentiate guest logins from normal logins.
The following options may be passed to the pam_guest module:
guests=list Comma-separated list of guest account names. The default is ``guest''. A typical value for ftpd(8) would be
``anonymous,ftp''.
nopass Omits the password prompt if the target account is on the list of guest accounts.
pass_as_ruser The password typed in by the user is exported as the PAM_RUSER item. This is useful for applications like ftpd(8) where guest
users are encouraged to use their email address as password.
pass_is_user Requires the guest user to type in the guest account name as password.
SEE ALSO pam_get_item(3), pam_getenv(3), pam.conf(5), pam(8)AUTHORS
The pam_guest module and this manual page were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division
of Network Associates, Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (``CBOSS''), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
