I actually have installed Ubuntu on the system (windows was too scary 
after all ;-)) and so far it's running fine. Haven't been able to 
reproduce the ssh problem. So it does look like the problem was somehow 
related to SuSE 9.2. Not a clue what it was
Anyway, I'll keep running Ubuntu until I get 9.3
