Saludos, Eike If this is the usual microcontroller-based UPS you also should change the shutdown timer so the system shuts down before the UPS dies.

Lo-and-behold: It works fine on the same machine in a text console. I went back to KDE and tried an xterm instead of Konsole. It also hangs with xterm. That flabbergasted me completely. How can OpenSSH be different when using it in a terminal window than on a console while X is still running on ALT-F7? So it IS different.
