Warm regards But that's the way devices are handled in "recent" kernels. And not a bad way, if I might add ... So, for debugging purposes, can you do: ssh localhost on the problematic system. Iff you theoy is correct, this should not work. Can you compile and run the following small C program (compile it with: gcc tty-tester.c -o tty-tester -lutil ) ----X file: tty-tester.c X------------------------------------------- /* Compile with gcc tty-tester.c -o tty-tester -lutil */ #include <stdio.h> #include <pty.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> int main (int argc, char** argvs) { int res; int master, slave; char termname[256]; struct termios termp; struct winsize winp; res = openpty(&master, &slave, termname, &termp, &winp); if (res) { printf("Could not open pseudo terminal\n"); perror("tty-tester"); return res; } printf("Got terminal at %s\n", termname); while(1) {sleep(1);} return(0); } -------X end file: tty-tester.c X--------------------------------- Just run it and see if we get some more meaningfull error message.
