Do you have a ~/.profile, ~/.cshrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc or
some such shell startup file for the $USER account on $HOST,
that might call some external program which would want to call
ttyname?

I had similar problems when I had put a 'fortune' call in .bashrc,
which got invoked for each and every login, including non-interactive
logins used for scp; the fortune output really mangled the scp protocol..

G'luck,
Peter
