Hello Michael,

Thanks for helping.

That did not work.

Now I found that I cannot login when `emacs -q' and I can only login
without problems when I am using `emacs -Q'

I have then removed the non existent site-start.el it was dangling
symbolic link, and then it started working with `emacs -q'

I will try bisecting, but I am not sure. Each time I need to kill the
ssh tramp process in background as well to debug what is wrong.
