Alright, performed a command line install using --reinstall.
It pulled the deb, asked me for a password, but then said:
chpasswd: can't lock password file.
Then it created some SSH keys.
Then said:
useradd: unable to lock password file
Afterwards, I tried to ssh localhost again and failed. Doesn't appear to be working still.

there should be a few .lock files in there... shadow.lock, passwd.lock, and group.lock.
They need to be removed...
Short of this... check your root filesize usage... it might be full.

It has a space?? Wow FUBAR'd.
Also:
If there are any of the others.. remove them too. After you remove it.. uninstall openssh-server and install it again.
Code:
rm /etc/passwd.\ lock
Code:
ls -al /etc/ | grep lock

Hi I have a similar problem however I have the following in /etc/
(passwd-) this is -rw-------
(passwd) this is -rw-r--r--
and I can't SSH into the N900 from my linux machine
the SSH daemon is up and able to bring the RSA fingerprint and not really sure where its going wrong.
Edit: Should I remove these and reinstall?

Nono.. don't remove the passwd file 
. That's quite important.
The passwd- can be ignored as well.
Your problem does not appear to be the same... can you run:
From your N900 and connect?
