[olug] Can't use Ctrl+C on my VPS

[Will Langford]

s&g - from putty try typing in alt 003.  Hold alt and type 003 and release
alt.  I'm not sure if this by passes anything that's hunting for a ctrl-c
combination... it should send the ctrl-c character code to your putty
window, but in other applications it doesn't activate the windows clipboard
stuff.
When you attempted to ssh from another machine - were you doing so through
putty -> other machine -> vps or ?  If you were, does ctrl-c work in this
other host ?
