On Mon, Jun 09, 2003 at 09:41:01AM -0700 I heard the voice of Thomas Park, and lo! it spake thus: > > Interesting. I have access to several FreeBSD 4.6 STABLE boxes, and > /dev/tty on each of them looks thusly: 4.x doesn't have devfs, so /dev is static. It's just internally (in the kernel) that /dev/tty becomes 'dynamic' pointing to the current tty. In 5.x with devfs, it shows through in /dev. > I'm pretty sure the ssh problem is with /dev/tty - I've scoured quite a > few message boards and newsgroups looking for a solution to the SSH > problem.

SCP > likewise doesn't work. Don't say, show :) Try `ssh -vvv` to be really verbose about it. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
