Hi James,
thanks for the reply. I checked the permissions and
they look ok.
bash-2.03# ls -l /dev/tty
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 26 Jul 13 2004
/dev/tty -> ../devices/pseudo/sy@0:tty
bash-2.03# ls -l /devices/pseudo/sy*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 22, 0 Jul 25 10:39
/devices/pseudo/sy@0:tty
crw------- 1 root sys 97, 1 Mar 17 17:06
/devices/pseudo/sysmsg@0:msglog
crw------- 1 root sys 97, 0 Apr 8 03:10
/devices/pseudo/sysmsg@0:sysmsg
The problem that I mentioned occured rarely earlier,
but now it is quite frequent. But most of the times
users are able to ssh.
If this a permission issue, it should never work, but
that is not the case here.
Will there be any problem with file descriptors
limit?.
Thanks
Amal

Check permission's on the /dev/tty device. It
should be 666, owned by
root, group root or system depending on your flavor

is gone, you will need to recreate the device via
mknod.
YMMV

error: open /dev/tty failed - could not set
controlling tty: No such
device or address
Hi
I am using OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep
2006
on solaris 8 sparc Generic_117350-44.
Very frequently I see this error message in
/var/adm/messages file
error: open /dev/tty failed - could not set
controlling tty: No such device or address
Also users are getting this error when then try to
ssh to remote hosts from this host
ssh -l username -L 1080:localhost:1080 -L
8080:localhost:8080 -L 8888:localhost:8888
remotehost
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password).
It doesn't prompt for password, instead it just
throws
this error and returns to the prompt.
Any clues on this problem?.
Thanks
Amal
