Hello all, I am unable to ssh into a diskless host running Fedora. When I boot into the golden image (same kernel and root files), I can ssh. Perhaps I'm missing something? Description: Fedora 6 - kernel: 2.6.22.14 which I recompiled in order to make the necessary kernel changes to support NFSROOT. Problem: The host boots ok via PXE as expected. I can login into the host via tty. Attempts to ssh from another host causes it to hang. I checked its /var/log/secure message and found the following: Feb 28 17:55:09 localhost sshd[2964]: Accepted password for sofia from 127.0.0.1 port 36123 ssh2 Feb 28 17:55:09 localhost sshd[2964]: error: openpty: No such file or directory Feb 28 17:55:09 localhost sshd[2966]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed 1. I also tried to ssh to localhost on the machine, it hangs too. 2. I looked at the /dev/pts - and I notice that nothing is created there. 3. I boot into the golden image running same kernel but root is on disk. I can successfully ssh into this box; and notice that when ssh'ing the /dev/pts/0 directory(ies) are created appropriately. 4. As I googled further ... I stumbled into a suggestion to perform the following: ssh <host> bash -i I performed this, and I am able to ssh into the box: [sofia@test1 tmp]# ssh 192.168.16.29 bash -i sofia@xxxxxxxxxxxxx's password: [sofia@localhost ~]# ls -al total 200 .... Any thought? Perhaps I'm missing something obvious ... I will also post this question in an ssh list. Thanks in advance. -- best, Vince -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
