Hi all, Sorry if this has already been discussed - the archives seem to be unavailable atm, which is why I turn to you... I have just installed 4.5 on a Compaq proliant, and the default sshd config does this: $ ssh myhost.where-i-work.com user@myhost.where-i-work.com's password: Warning: Remote host failed or refused to allocate a pseudo tty. This occurs even trying to connect from myhost on the loopback: $ ssh 127.1 user@127.1's password: Warning: Remote host failed or refused to allocate a pseudo tty. ssh -v shows that we enter the interactive session, but all I get is a semi-hung terminal (no further action from the remote end, but CTRL-C closes the connection.) I am not setting anything for this host in my local ~/.ssh/config file, and sshd is running from the default sshd_config. The daemon produces these messages in syslog: ... sshd[$PID]: error: openpty: No such file or directory ... sshd[$PID]: error: Failed to allocate pty. I seem to have the full complement of ptys, and all seem to have the right permissions, ownership and device numbers. I am now truly baffled. Anyone else seen this and would like to lead this poor sucker into the light? Please? ;-) Thanks in advance for any and all help...
