I'm little bit confused with this PTY allocation issue, for me "PTY allocation request failed" means it was not possible to open a terminal on the remote side, but i feel like having a terminal :)
I believe this is an incorrect implementation of the ssh server on the switch misleadingly reporting that it failed to open a PTY in a situation where it probably should just silently proceed (didn't look into the protocol though - maybe it's perfectly correct).
Yes, but when connecting from older openssh clients there is no error printed at all. IMHO the fix from https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1698 is correct, as it prevents the client from hang when it is not possible to open a PTY. I think the real issue is the newer openssh reports PTY allocation failure, but there is no "real" PTY allocation failure at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
