Hello, I'm having this strange problem: if I try to log into my own system using the ssh client, I obtain what follows: [fabry@f-ammollo linux]$ ssh -v localhost SSH Version OpenSSH_2.1.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f). debug: Reading configuration data /usr/local/etc/ssh_config debug: Applying options for * debug: Seeding random number generator debug: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 0 anon 0 debug: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22. debug: Seeding random number generator debug: Allocated local port 813. debug: Connection established. debug: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_2.1.1 debug: Local version string SSH-1.5-OpenSSH_2.1.1 debug: Waiting for server public key. debug: Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits). debug: Forcing accepting of host key for loopback/localhost. debug: Seeding random number generator debug: Encryption type: 3des debug: Sent encrypted session key. debug: Installing crc compensation attack detector. debug: Received encrypted confirmation. debug: Doing password authentication. fabry@localhost's password: debug: Requesting pty. debug: Requesting shell. debug: Entering interactive session.

Do you think there are problems with the allocation of the pty, or something else ? It's strange, because if, for example, I tell the ssh client to execute the command 'ls -l', it works without any error.. Do you have any clue, people ? Thank you. -- Fabrizio Ammollo
