I'm trying to set up ssh into my firewall from a local machine. The firewall
rules are set up. sshd seems to be set up; I have it running successfully on
other machines. I can log into the firewall but get this:
brownicm@molly$ ssh brownicm@192.168.1.21
brownicm@192.168.1.21's password:
Warning: Remote host failed or refused to allocate a pseudo tty.
Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor).
Thus no job control in this shell.
It looks like sshd authenticates the request but the system won't allocate a
tty. When I originally built the firewall I edited /etc/ttys to remove all
the ttys I wouldn't be using (I thought). I commented out all but two virtual
terminals, all the dial-up terminals and all the pseudo terminals. I have
replaced a couple of pty's and a couple more ttyv's figuring that was the
problem. That didn't help.
Anyone have any ideas? Did I edit some other file I've forgotten?
