That's normal if you don't have a tty in the first place. Don't you have some kind of console? BTW, what does the following say? $ ssh -t root@192.168.2.109 ls -l /dev/tty\* $ ssh -t root@192.168.2.109 ls -l /dev/pts You can also try whether telnet over SSH works... Or just simple telnet if the local network is secure. If this works, you can try again "ssh -t localhost" (or just "ssh localhost", since -t is implied without a command) from there. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
