Environment
Your servers (including master) are running as virtual machines on a physical host.
Solution
Step 1
Test manually:
root@ucs:~# echo -n "ADMINPASSWORD">pwd.txt
root@ucs:~# univention-ssh -timeout 3 ./pwd.txt Administrator@ucs-101.artietee.intranet ls ; echo $?
In case you get back a “1” permanently you should check your master for performance issues as it is reacting too slow.
