[about missing ptys]
I've got /dev/pts mounted:

none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)

I've also got a pty device defined:

# ls -l dev
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  root    2,      0 Jun  5 12:24 ptyp0


But I'm still seeing an error in the sshd log:

error: openpty: No such file or directory

You're missing the corresponding pty slave (ttyp0 in this case).

Note that you'll need as many ptys has you have concurrent ssh sessions 
(plus other users of ptys).


That was it.  Working great now!  Thanks so much for all the help!!
